KBO has confirmed the location and schedule of the national team's camp participating in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC).

The WBC national team is scheduled to hold the first camp in Saipan from January 9 to 21 next year. The camp in January was designed to help players play in their best condition at the start of the tournament, considering the characteristics of the WBC being held before the start of the season.

Players will join their club's camp after the end of the first camp, and the second camp will be held in Okinawa, Japan, from February 15 to 28.




KBO submitted 50 Federation Interest List members to the WBC Organizing Committee, World Baseball Classic Inc., on the 1st. The list of interest can be replaced later with a kind of preliminary list provided to organizers to go through the process of confirming the qualifications for each player in advance. The list is not disclosed in accordance with the organizing committee guidelines.

KBO will submit 35 provisional rosters to the WBCI on December 3rd, and then confirm 30 final rosters by February 3rd next year, the deadline for submitting the final roster.

South Korea has suffered the humiliation of failing to qualify for three consecutive tournaments since 2013, leaving behind the glory of the 2006 WBC semifinal and 2009 WBC runner-up.
