Qualifiers Begin August 15
USA Baseball will launch the WBSC eBaseballTM USA Qualifiers on August 15, offering separate double‑elimination brackets for Steam/PC and PlayStation participants.
Each bracket will culminate in two champions who earn a place in the USA Finals scheduled for November 13 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The finals will feature the top two U.S. players on the WBSC eBaseballTM Global Rankings who have not already secured a spot, ensuring that emerging talent also receives a chance to compete.
Open to All U.S. Players
Eligibility extends to all U.S. residents, including those on outlying islands and Puerto Rico, and there is no entry fee for participants.
The initiative builds on a series of collaborations between USA Baseball and the World Baseball Softball Confederation, which have already hosted in‑person finals in Raleigh and plan a 2026 World Finals event in the same city on November 14‑15.
With a growing eSports footprint, the qualifiers aim to broaden the talent pool and bring the excitement of competitive baseball to a digital audience.
