when does mexico play baseball

Mexico’s next big baseball games depend on whether you mean the Mexico national team or pro baseball played in Mexico.

Quick Scoop

1. Mexico national team – World Baseball Classic 2026

Right now, the most prominent “Mexico” games are in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Recent schedule info lists:

  • Mexico vs. Great Britain – March 6, 1 p.m. (Pool play)
  • Brazil vs. Mexico – March 8, 8 p.m.
  • Mexico vs. USA – March 9, 8 p.m.
  • Mexico vs. Italy (listed as a following pool game)

These are neutral-site tournament games where Mexico’s national team represents the country rather than a club.

2. Pro baseball in Mexico – summer league

If you meant “when does baseball in Mexico start,” the top pro summer league (Liga Mexicana de Beisbol, LMB) opens in April 2026 and runs through August 2026.

  • 2026 Opening Night: Piratas de Campeche at Diablos Rojos del México, Thursday, April 16, Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú (Mexico City).
  • Rest of the league opens Friday, April 18.
  • Regular season ends August 6; playoffs begin August 9 and Serie del Rey (final) starts September 9.

So, if you’re just wondering “when does Mexico play baseball at home,” April through early fall is your window.

3. MLB games in Mexico (Mexico City Series)

There’s also MLB’s Mexico City Series 2026 :

  • Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres
  • Dates: Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26, 2026
  • Stadium: Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, Mexico City
  • These are regular-season MLB games officially counted as D‑backs home games.

They’re not “Team Mexico,” but they are high-profile baseball games in Mexico and draw a lot of attention.
