The 2023 World Baseball Classic will begin on March 8 and run through March 21. This year, the number of teams competing was upped from 16 to 20. There are still four pools that the countries are divided into, with each having a host team/city. The quarterfinal games will all take place at the host cities' fields, with the semifinals and the final being held at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.
