USA Baseball Reveals 2026 Collegiate National Team Schedule

USA Baseball today revealed the 2026 Collegiate National Team schedule, which is highlighted by the annual Stars vs. Stripes series June 30-July 4 in North Carolina and the inaugural World Collegiate Baseball Championship July 11-15 in Taichung City, Taiwan.

“It is always exciting to finalize our schedule as we anticipate another great summer of baseball,” said Eric Campbell, General Manager of USA Baseball’s Collegiate and Professional National Teams. “We are looking forward to our slate of exhibition games and annual Stars vs. Stripes series that will prepare us to compete at the inaugural World Collegiate Baseball Championship, which will be a new and exciting opportunity for this team and our organization. Our Collegiate National Team and Training Camp rosters will feature the nation’s top non-draft eligible collegiate players, and this schedule allows USA Baseball to showcase top-tier talent on domestic and international soil.”

The summer schedule will kick off with three days of doubleheaders for a combined six games between June 27-29, as the Stars and Stripes teams will play three games apiece. The teams will travel to Burlington, North Carolina, June 27 to play the Appalachian League’s Greeneville Flyboys and Burlington Sock Puppets at Burlington Athletic Stadium. The teams will then travel to Danville, Virginia, June 28 to play the Appalachian League’s Johnson City Doughboys and Danville Otterbots at American Legion Post 325 Field. The exhibition slate will wrap up June 29 when the Stars and Stripes teams each play the Appalachian League Select Team, at the National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina.

The Appalachian League is a summer collegiate baseball league that is a part of the MLB and USA Baseball Prospect Development Pipeline, and its Select Team will consist of the top players from around the league.

Following the three days of exhibition games, the annual Stars vs. Stripes series will begin June 30 at Segra Stadium in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The next three games will be held at the National Training Complex July 1-3, and the series will return to Segra Stadium July 4 for the finale. The annual five-game Stars vs. Stripes series is a product of the Collegiate National Team Training Camp that features 56 of the premier non-draft-eligible collegiate players in the country.

The Collegiate National Team, which will be named on July 5 following the conclusion of Training Camp, will then compete in the inaugural World Collegiate Baseball Championship at Taichung City Intercontinental Baseball Stadium in Taichung City, Taiwan, from July 11-15. The United States, Chinese Taipei Baseball Association (CTBA), and Japan University Baseball Federation (JUBF) recently announced the institution of this event, which will bring together four teams for a five-day tournament and provide a significant addition to the global baseball calendar at the collegiate level.

The Collegiate National Team will represent the United States in this four-team tournament and will play against collegiate-level players from Chinese Taipei, Japan, and Korea. The tournament will be split into three stages – pool play from July 11-13, semifinals on July 14, and finals on July 15 with gold-and bronze-medal games.

USA Baseball will announce the full Collegiate National Team coaching staff and Training Camp roster at a later time.
