Israel qualified for the 2026 World Baseball Classic by finishing fourth in its group in 2026, and the hope this time around is for an even better showing in a tough group that includes the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
Newly-signed Giants OF Harrison Bader and Pirates 1B Spencer Horwitz anchor the lineup for Israel, while Orioles P Dean Kremer remains the team's top starter after he pitched in the 2023 tournament.
Other notable MLB names include relievers Tommy Kahnle and Eli Morgan, giving Israel some experience in the bullpen against some loaded offenses. The action for Israel starts on March 7 against Venezuela.
Here's a look at Israel's 2026 World Baseball Classic schedule, including how to watch the games.
