It's time to get your baseball fix before MLB spring training and the World Baseball Classic arrive on the scene.

The 2026 Caribbean Series takes place this week in Mexico, featuring five top teams from winter leagues around the region.

The 68th edition of the Serie del Caribe already has been mired in controversy. The tournament was originally supposed to be played in Venezuela, but other countries demanded a move due to political upheaval in the wake of the recent U.S. military operation there.

Guadalajara stepped in to host and Venezuela pulled out of the event in protest. To fill out of the field, two teams from the Mexican Pacific League will participate: champion Charros de Jalisco and runner-up Tomateros de Culiacan.

Those two and representatives from Puerto Rico and Panama will be looking to dethrone Dominican League champion Escogido, which beat Jalisco in last year's final.

Here's everything you need to know to watch this year's tournament.
