The 2026 Baseball Champions League Americas is the third edition of the Baseball Champions League Americas, an international competition for baseball clubs organized by the WBSC Americas, part of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). For a second year in a row, the tournament will be held at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City, Mexico, from 24 to 29 March 2026 and feature a field of six teams, playing in a round-robin group stage followed by a knock-out stage.[1][2] For the first time, the tournament will include non-champion invitee teams and a team from outside North and Central America, with the invitation of the CTBC Brothers from Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League; however, due to a scheduling conflict, the team's manager confirmed they would be sending their farm team rather than their main squad.[3]
