07/31/26 - 2026 American Legion Baseball National Regionals -

I will (I hope) be following the Great Lakes Regional and the Southeast Regional;

Changes from prior years -

* 56 teams - apart from the six Host teams, all teams are Champions (no runner-up teams);

* Two Regions are “co-located” in Massachussetts and North Carolina (reducing Host teams to six);

* Four Regions have six teams and four Regions have eight teams;
