MIAMI – loanDepot park today announced the venue has acquired the rights to host the prestigious international tournament Serie del Caribe (Caribbean Series) for multiple years, beginning in 2028. The multi-year partnership between the Miami Marlins and professional Winter League Baseball follows the historic 2024 tournament, which saw numerous attendance records, including most attended Serie del Caribe and largest attendance for a single game.
“We are proud to once again bring Serie del Caribe to loanDepot park, solidifying our venue as the premier destination for international baseball,” said Caroline O’Connor, Miami Marlins President of Business. “This historic tournament means so much to our community, and we’re excited that Miami will be the home for multiple years as we continue to build off the record-breaking 2024 tournament.”
Serie del Caribe features teams from the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation including the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Mexico, with additional invited leagues to be announced at a later date. Sanctioned by Major League Baseball through its Winter League agreement with the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation, the Caribbean Series offers U.S. fans an exciting opportunity to participate in witnessing championship-level winter baseball, featuring MLB and MiLB players.
With a remarkably rich history since 1949, the tournament has seen many Hall of Famers and All-Stars participate in the Caribbean Series, including Rod Carew, Miguel Cabrera, Roberto Clemente, Edgar Martinez, David Ortiz, Ivan Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, and many more. The Tiburones de la Guaira, representing Venezuela, claimed the 2024 title at loanDepot park in front of a sold-out crowd.
Miami’s rich baseball heritage and loanDepot park’s growing legacy as a global stage, hosting marquee baseball events including the World Baseball Classic, make it the perfect home for three more Caribbean Series events. These tournaments further solidify Miami as the epicenter of international baseball.
ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ will continue as the Spanish-language domestic broadcast partners through 2028, bringing the excitement of the Caribbean Series to millions of homes for years to come.
