For a second year in a row, the tournament was be held at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City, Mexico, from 24 to 29 March 2026 and feature a field of five teams, playing in a single round-robin format; the top two finishers subsequently squared off in the championship.[1][2] An undetermined sixth team from Venezuela's summer league was initially announced to be participating but was quietly dropped before the tournament.[2] For the first time, the tournament included a non-champion invitee team and a team from outside North and Central America, with the invitation of the CTBC Brothers from Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League; however, due to a scheduling conflict, the team's manager confirmed they would be sending their farm team rather than their main squad.[3]
