Expect the Next World Baseball Classic in 2023

The World Baseball Classic scheduled for March 2021 is set to be pushed back until 2023, although the decision hasn’t yet been formally announced. Sources confirmed the news to Baseball America as well as other news sites. The 2021 WBC would have been played in the U.S., Japan and Taiwan, and would have included 20 teams, the largest number in WBC history.

The tournament was part of the current MLB collective bargaining agreement, which expires at the end of 2021. To guarantee MLB player participation in 2023, the next WBC would need to be part of the new CBA.
