The defending World Baseball Classic champions are back in the United States for the 2026 knockout stages.
Japan, the only country to win the heralded tournament more than one time, comes to Miami, Florida — where it famously beat the United States in the 2023 finals — to face Venezuela in the knockout stages. After a dominating 4-0 group stage at the Tokyo Dome, Shohei Ohtani and co. look to win back-to-back titles for the second time in their history.
The opponent is not an easy one: Venezuela, who will have a large contingent of fans at loanDepot Park. Finishing second in Group D, the star power the Venezuelans boast is undeniable, from 2023 NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. to stars in Jackson Chourio, Luis Arraez and Salvador Perez.
As Japan looks to take one step closer to a second consecutive World Baseball Classic final, the high-energy Venezuelans are the first team it needs to beat.
Here's the complete information you need to know for the game, from television channel to streaming options.
