The 2026 Serie de las Américas is the second edition of the Serie de las Américas club baseball tournament, which is being played from February 5 to February 13, 2026 at two venues in the Greater Caracas region of Venezuela: Estadio Monumental Simón Bolívar in Caracas and Estadio Fórum La Guaira in Macuto.
The tournament was initially expected to take place in Panama City and La Chorrera from January 24-30. However, it was later reported that the series would be moved to Caracas and La Guaira, Venezuela. Venezuela had been stripped of the hosting rights to the 2026 Caribbean Series due to geopolitical tensions.
The competitors in this tournament are the winners of the winter league baseball leagues of each of the members of the Baseball Association of the Americas: Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Curaçao, Panama, and Nicaragua. However, Cuba sent its national team to the tournament, rather than the winner of the National Series or Elite League. Panama sent the Águilas Metropolitanas, champions of the 2024-25 Panamanian Professional Baseball League season and the 2025 Serie de las Americas tournament, to this tournament since their 2025–26 winter league baseball season got cancelled.
Venezuela sent the winner of the 2025-26 Venezuelan Professional Baseball League season to this tournament since they decided to pull out of the 2026 Caribbean Series and are the host country for this tournament. Brazil was initially expected to compete as a national team in this tournament as well; however, Brazil was not included in the tournament when the schedule was officially announced.
Tournament format A single round-robin format is being used, where each team faces each other once. The four teams with the best records will advance to the semifinals. The two losers will meet in the 3rd place match and the two winners will meet in the final to decide the tournament champion.
