    The World Baseball Classic returns for its sixth edition in March, featuring a 20-team field spread across four pools. In all, 47 games will be played over 13 days at four sites: the Tokyo Dome, Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, loanDepot Park in Miami and Daikin Park in Houston.

    Team Japan, the only nation to win multiple WBC crowns (2006, 2009, 2023), is aiming for its fourth title, while the Dominican Republic (2013) and U.S. (2017) are the only other winners of the event. Japan’s roster features 2025 NL MVP Shohei Ohtani and 2025 World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, both of the Dodgers, in addition to Angels lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi and Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki.

    The U.S. roster is led by captain Aaron Judge and features both 2025 Cy Young winners in Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. Team USA boasts a combined 65 MLB All-Star Game appearances and four former MVPs in Judge, Bryce Harper, Paul Goldschmidt and Clayton Kershaw.

    Most games will be broadcast in the U.S. on the Fox family of networks (Fox, FS1, FS2) and streamed on the Fox Sports app and Tubi.
