KBO exhibition games, which will be held from March 12 to March 24, have changed some schedules and game times.
KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) announced on the 27th that "the opening time of some of the 2026 KBO exhibition games has been changed to adapt to night games and provide rest after movement."
According to KBO, the match between the KIA Tigers and the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on March 16 and the Kiwoom Heroes and SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd have been postponed from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The two games, which will be held in Daegu (KIA-Samsung) and Daejeon (NC-Hanwha) on March 23, the end of the exhibition game, will then be declared a play ball at 6 p.m.
Unlike the regular season, overtime and doubleheader are not played, and games canceled due to rain are not reorganized.
In terms of player management, he has increased flexibility. Not only the players they belong to but also the nurturing players can play, and there is no limit on the number of participants, so it is expected to be a "place of opportunity" for coaches of each team to check the skills of new players.
The notable change in the exhibition game is the video-reading rule. Each team will have two reading opportunities per game, and if the decision is overturned twice in a row, one additional opportunity will be given.
In particular, it is noteworthy that video readings for the controversial "check swing" are given two separate times per team. The check swing reading is expected to maintain opportunities when the decision is overturned, enabling fairer and more accurate game management.
