The 2026 Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) Baseball State Championships will kick off this weekend and continue into the following week, offering a full slate of competition across five classifications.
Venues and Schedule
Games 1 through 11 are scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, while the final set of matchups, games 12 through 15, will take place on May 29 and 30. Each of the five classes – 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A – fields an eight‑team bracket that follows a double‑elimination format, ensuring that teams must lose twice before being eliminated.
Championship titles for every class will be presented on Saturday, capping off a weekend of high‑stakes play and community celebration.
Venue Specifics
The 2A championship will be held in Pueblo at the Runyon Sports Complex, a venue known for its well‑maintained fields and family‑friendly atmosphere.
In Greeley, the 3A championship will take place at Butch Butler Field and the nearby University High School. Organizers have announced a strict no‑pet policy for the Greeley games, aiming to keep the focus on competition.
The 4A championship will be staged in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs campus. Non‑DoD ID holders over 18 must complete a Visitor Pre‑Registration Request in order to attend any of the 4A games at the Air Force Academy site.
Finally, the 5A championship will unfold in Denver at All‑Star Park and All‑City Stadium, two of the city’s premier athletic complexes that can accommodate large crowds and provide extensive amenities.
Ticketing and Access
All tickets are available for purchase digitally through GoFan, and every venue operates on a cashless basis. Parking is free at all tournament sites, and concessions will be offered at most locations, with specific food options highlighted for the UCCS and 5A venues.
Broadcast and Media Rules
The NFHS Network will stream every game of the state tournament, giving fans across the country live access to the action. While the network encourages widespread viewing, any attempt to broadcast games on external platforms without permission will trigger postseason rights and media‑rights violation fees.
With schedules set, venues confirmed, and viewing options expanded, the 2026 CHSAA Baseball State Championships promise to deliver a memorable experience for players, families and fans alike.
