2026 baseball tournament
The 2026 Caribbean Series was the 68th edition of the Caribbean Series club baseball tournament, scheduled from 1 to 7 February 2026, at the Estadio Panamericano de Béisbol in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.[1]
The tournament features the winners of the respective winter league baseball leagues of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation (CPBC) four full members; Dominican Republic (LIDOM), Mexico (LMP), Puerto Rico (LBPRC), and Venezuela (LVBP), plus special guest Panama (LPBP).[1]
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Venezuela; however, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Mexico requested after meeting on 15 December 2025, that the CBPC move the tournament from Venezuela due to the ongoing political turmoil in the country.[2] LVBP protested the decision and eventually decided to pull out of the event all together. As a result, their league winner will participate in the 2026 Serie de las Américas to be played in Venezuela at the same time.[3]
As host and due to Venezuela’s departure, Mexico received two spots – the winners and runners-up of the 2025–26 Mexican Pacific League season.[1]
Leones del Escogido represented the Dominican Republic as defending champions and were eliminated by the Tomateros de Culiacán in the semi-finals.
A single round-robin format; each team faces each other once. The four teams with the best records advance to the semi-finals (1st vs. 4th and 2nd vs. 3rd). The two winners will play in the final to decide the tournament champion.
On 4 February, the game between the Federales de Chiriquà against the Leones del Escogido saw a scoreline of 15–16 in favor of the Leones for a single game record of 31 combined runs. This is the most combined runs scored at the Caribbean Series since the 28 combined runs scored on 6 February 1990, when the Naranjeros de Hermosillo defeated the Senadores de San Juan 20–8 in Miami, Florida.[4]
