The 2023 World Baseball Classic is underway.

The tournament expanded to 20 teams this year and underwent a format change to accomodate the expansion. Teams will now play four games in pool play, compared to three games in previous editions of the WBC. The second round is now single-elimination as opposed to a round robin.

Pool play took place in Taichung, Taiwan; Tokyo; Phoenix and Miami. Quarterfinals are in Tokyo and Miami and the semifinals and finals will take place at Miami’s loanDepot Park from March 19-21.
