FOX Deportes is officially launching its 30th anniversary celebration by placing the spotlight on one of the most important international tournaments in sports: the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC). With baseball deeply rooted in its identity since its founding in 1996, the network is marking three decades of Spanish-language sports storytelling by delivering comprehensive coverage of a tournament that unites countries, generations, and cultures through the game.
For nearly 30 years, FOX Deportes has served as a trusted voice for Hispanic sports fans in the United States, offering coverage that reflects the passion, rhythm, and cultural context of the Latino community. That mission aligns perfectly with the World Baseball Classic, a global event that brings together the world’s top players as they represent their home countries and celebrate baseball’s international and cultural impact.
The 2026 World Baseball Classic, running from March 4–17, promises to be one of the most exciting editions yet. The tournament will open at the Tokyo Dome with Chinese Taipei facing Australia and will feature games in Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami. Confirmed participants include some of the biggest stars in the sport, such as Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Japan), Aaron Judge (USA), Ronald Acuña Jr. (Venezuela), and Randy Arozarena (Mexico), building anticipation among fans worldwide.
FOX Deportes will broadcast 28 live games, including the championship final from Miami on March 17, delivering coverage that goes beyond the field. The network will integrate voices from sports, entertainment, and culture to explore how baseball continues to shape the modern Latino experience. The impact of the WBC is undeniable—its 2023 final between Japan and the United States drew more than 5.2 million viewers across FOX platforms, including FOX Deportes.
Coverage will be led by veteran broadcasters Adrián García-Márquez, Carlos Álvarez, and Ronaldo Nichols, alongside analysts Edgar González and Jaime Motta. As FOX Deportes looks back on three decades of iconic moments, the network also looks ahead—committed to amplifying the stories, passion, and diversity of the Latino community through the world’s biggest sporting events.
