World Baseball Classic Baseball Tickets

Watch the best players in the world play ball with World Baseball Classic tickets. The World Baseball Classic is a tournament held every four years that features the national teams of its member competitors. The tournament is sanctioned by the World Baseball Softball Confederation. The winner is bestowed the title of "World Champion."

The tournament is patterned after the FIFA World Cup and was conceived as a result of the International Olympic Committee deciding to remove baseball from the Olympics in 2005. The champion series in both 2006 and 2009 are among the most-watched sporting events in the history of Japanese television.

See true world baseball champions with World Baseball Classic tickets. In the inaugural tournament, the 16-team bracket was pre-chosen without a qualifying tournament, with the choices selected from the “best baseball-playing nations” only allowed to compete. In that tournament, rounds one and two were round robin followed by a knockout semifinal round and then the finals. The first winner of the Classic was Japan.

As of 2021, the Classic has expanded to 20 teams, with the qualifying format being all 16 teams from the tournament in 2016 being pre-qualified and the remaining slots with a qualifying round with two six-team double-elimination tournaments, with the winners and runners-up moving forward to participate in the Classic.
