The NBC Baseball Foundation has announced the dates for the 90th National Baseball Congress World Series.
The tournament will be held July 25th through August 3rd, 2024 at Eck Stadium at Wichita State University. The NBC worked with Old Fort Baseball Company of Fort Wayne, Indiana to design a 90th Anniversary logo. It has elements of prior NBC logos throughout the decades, and it will be seen on merchandise and promotional items throughout the year.
There will be 16 teams competing in the 2024 World Series, with bids being announced over the summer, prior to the tournament. The defending champion Hutchinson Monarchs of Kansas and the runner up Santa Barbara Foresters of California will receive guaranteed bids for the tournament. Tickets will go on sale in May.
The NBC World Series was founded in 1935 by Hap Dumont in Wichita, and the summer collegiate tournament has had more than 900 former players go on to play Major League Baseball, including Roger Clemens, Satchel Paige, Ozzie Smith, and more recent stars like Josh Jung of the Texas Rangers.
