The 2026 Wyoming American Legion Baseball Senior Division I State Tournament is set to take place in Gillette from July 24 through July 28, bringing together eight of the state’s top senior‑division teams in a modified double‑elimination format.

Games will open on July 24 and culminate with the championship contest on July 28, after which the champion will earn a berth at the Region 7/Pacific Northwest Regional Tournament in Medford, Oregon, scheduled for early August.

Defending Champions Gear Up

The Gillette Roughriders, the defending Double‑A State Champions, headline the field alongside rivals such as the Casper Oilers, Cheyenne Sixers and Sheridan Troopers, each hoping to claim the title and advance.

Road to the Regional and World Series

Victors from Wyoming will travel to Medford for the regional competition between August 5 and 9, where they will face the Hawaii state champion before potentially moving on to the American Legion World Series.

The World Series is slated for August 13‑18 in Shelby, North Carolina, offering the winning squad a chance to compete on a national stage.

What’s at Stake

Beyond the trophy, the tournament provides a showcase for local talent, reinforces community ties, and supports the broader mission of the American Legion in promoting youth athletics and veteran outreach.

Fans, families and local businesses are expected to flock to Gillette’s Hladky Memorial Stadium, boosting tourism and highlighting the city’s role as a regional sports hub.
