South African Baseball supporters will be able to follow every moment of the VI WBSC U23 Baseball World Cup 2026, which gets underway in Nicaragua on Friday, 6 November.
All matches at the tournament, including every South Africa fixture, will be available worldwide on Gametime, the official WBSC streaming platform, subject to territorial restrictions. A Tournament Pass costs US$14.99, while a Day Pass is available for US$9.99.
South Africa will take on Venezuela, Cuba, Great Britain, Japan and Korea in a challenging Group B opening round. Supporters should note that Nicaragua is eight hours behind South Africa, meaning several fixtures will be played during the early hours locally.
