KBO announced the hosting of the 2025 Ulsan-KBO Fall League on the 9th. From the 14th, a total of 11 teams, not only domestic but also foreign teams, will participate and play 13 games per team.
There are more participating teams than last year. Last year, a total of nine teams, including five domestic teams (LG, NC, Goyang, Lotte, and independent league All-Stars), three Japanese Softbank teams, the Mexican League Union team, Jiangsu Hughesholds from China's CBA, and the Cuban national team, participated in nine games per team for two weeks, but this year, as the number of participating teams increased, more games were played.
In Korea, eight teams, including KIA, Samsung, LG, Lotte, NC, Goyang, independent league All-Stars, and college selection teams, will participate. Overseas, the Australian Melbourne Aces, the Japanese independent league selection team, and Jiangsu Hughesholds from China's CBA will participate. From the 14th to November 1st, Ulsan Munsu Stadium, Gimhae Sangdong Stadium, Changwon Masan Stadium, and Gijang KBO Baseball Center will start a three-week battle.
In addition to the game, the Ulsan-KBO Fall League has prepared a variety of events. On the 13th, the day before the opening, a welcome reception will be held in Ulsan, Hotel Hyundai by Rahane, attended by Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, KBO President Koo Hu-yeon, and participating team managers and representative players. In addition, youth clinics will be held for the Ulsan Little Baseball Team, and overseas teams will have time to visit attractions and tourist attractions in Ulsan to experience Korean culture and food.
Ulsan-KBO Fall League will play 65 preliminary games, 13 games per team, and will award 20 million won to the final winner and 10 million won to the runner-up through the final round. Qualifiers will be held at four stadiums for up to five games a day, and major games at Ulsan Munsu Stadium will be broadcast on tvN SPORTS, TVING and KBO YouTube. The final round (October 31 to November 1) at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan will also be broadcasted the same way.
The Ulsan-KBO Fall League will be played without a separate entry so that various players can play, and next year's rookie players who were selected for the 2026 Rookie Draft held in September can also participate. Games canceled due to rain and other reasons will not be reorganized except for games with preliminary dates.
In last year's final, Lotte beat NC to win the championship. Kim Min-seok, who moved to Doosan this year, was named MVP at the time.
