KONAMI and WBSC continue their partnership, established in 2018, to further popularize and develop baseball culture.
As part of this initiative, they will co-host a new world tournament, the WBSC eBaseball Series 2026, in July 2026, featuring eBaseball: PRO SPIRIT as the official competitive title.
eBaseball: PRO SPIRIT, the official competitive title, has expanded its distribution scale by more than three times compared to the conventional WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros, reaching approximately 200 countries and regions.
As a free-to-play title, it provides an environment where more global players can participate, which will accelerate the popularization of baseball culture on a global scale.
Furthermore, to promote community activation, WBSC provides a system that allows tournament organizers of all sizes to host WBSC-sanctioned tournaments.
They are also working to expand existing and new tournaments held in various regions to a global audience.
