- The tournament runs to Tuesday, March 17.
Where to watch
- The World Baseball Classic 2026 will stream in the US on Fox Sports.
The sixth edition of the World Baseball Classic is heading into the quarterfinals. The United States is looking to bounce back from a shock defeat as the team takes on Canada in a mouthwatering last-eight showdown on Friday.
Team USA was left stunned after crashing to an 8-6 loss to Italy on Tuesday and had to rely on Italy defeating Mexico to advance to this stage. Aaron Judge and company must now dust themselves off as they face their near neighbors at Daikin Park in Houston for a place in the semifinals.
Ahead of that clash, the quarterfinals kick off on Friday with an intriguing matchup between South Korea and the unbeaten Dominican Republic, while Europe’s last remaining team, Italy, makes only its second-ever appearance in the tournament’s quarterfinals, facing Puerto Rico.
Rounding things off for the quarterfinals on Saturday is a first WBC meeting between defending champs Japan and a Venezuela team looking to rebound after their Pool D defeat on Thursday to Latin rivals Dominican Republic.

How to watch the 2026 World Baseball Classic online from anywhere using a VPN
If you can’t view the tournament locally, you may need an alternative way to watch the World Baseball Classic 2026. A VPN can be helpful. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
