It all comes down to this: two baseball teams fighting on the international stage for the chance to win a title for their country.
The 2026 World Baseball Classic culminates with the championship game between the United States and Venezuela. Team USA, after narrowly exiting pool play, defeated a powerful Dominican Republic team in Sunday's semifinal to advance to its third consecutive WBC final. Venezuela beat Italy with a seventh-inning comeback on Monday in the second semifinal to secure its place in the tournament's grand final.
Will the United States avenge its 2023 loss to Japan and take home this year's trophy? Or will Venezuela end its surprising streak with a victory?
We'll post live updates and analysis as the game progresses, and our conclusions after the final release.
Cooperate!
