Baseball European Championship 2027 awarded to Germany

WBSC Europe is pleased to announce that the Baseball European Championship 2027 will be held in Regensburg, Germany. The WBSC Europe Executive Board has accepted the bid from the German Baseball and Softball Federation, recognizing Regensburg as a premier location for this prestigious event.

Regensburg, Germany, will host the Baseball European Championship 2027. The Bavarian city has a history of successfully hosting major tournaments, including the preliminary round of the World Cup 2009 and the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers in 2012 and 2022.

A preliminary round group of the Baseball European Championship 2014 and the Baseball European Champions Cup 2017 were also hosted in Regensburg, which is gearing up to host the upcoming U-18 Baseball European Championship 2024.

“Hosting large international events has always been pivotal for the growth of baseball in Regensburg, significantly increasing the sport's popularity and interest," the Local Organising Committee shared their enthusiasm, "With the necessary lead time until 2027, we aim to make the European Championship an event that surpasses all previous ones in Regensburg.”

The Baseball European Championship 2027 in Germany will further promote the sport across the region and the continent.

In 2023, the EuroBaseball was held in Czechia, across multiple venues including Eagles Prague, Arrows Park Ostrava, BrnoField, Třebíč Na Hvězdě, YD Baseball Arena Brno, and Strawberry Field Blansko.

Spain won the Title of European Champions, defeating Great Britain 11-2 in the Gold Medal Game to claim their second European Championship title, their first since 1955. The Netherlands secured the Bronze Medal by edging out Germany.

The 2025 edition was previously assigned to Israel, but due to the current political situation, the event will be relocated. Further updates will be provided in due course.
