Caribbean Series 2023: TV Schedule, Channel, Titles, Format & Scores For Baseball’s Serie Del Caribe

For the first time ever, eight teams will compete in the 65th edition of the Caribbean Series, which gets underway on Thursday in Caracas, Venezuela. In addition to having won two of its seven titles at home, Venezuela is hosting the competition for the fifteenth time.

Tigres de Licey, the Dominican Republic’s team, recently won their 23rd Dominican Republic League championship, which is the most ever. They will compete in their 20th Caribbean World Series, holding the record for most titles with 10. Most Caribbean Series titles belong to the Dominican Republic as a whole (21).

Curaçao is competing in the Caribbean Series for the first time and hopes to become the second team to do so (Panama won in 2019). Colombia hopes to become the first nation to win consecutive championships since Mexico in 2017 and 2018, even if last year’s champion, Caimanes de Barranquilla, won’t compete this year. After a three-year absence from the event, Cuba is also back.

Eight teams compete in a round-robin format during the first stage of the Series, with the top four moving on to the semifinal doubleheader on February 9. On February 10, there will be a single-game championship.
