The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) will accompany Medi Hill for the third consecutive year through the Futures League title sponsorship.

MediHill, the flagship brand of KBO and L&P Cosmetics, signed a sponsorship contract for the KBO Futures League title on the 17th and confirmed the official name of the Futures League as "2026 MediHill KBO Futures League."

Along with the signing of the sponsorship, KBO and MediHill also unveiled the official emblem of the Futures League, which includes the MediHill brand. The emblem will be introduced through various online and offline channels.

MediHill has been steadily supporting the Futures League as the title sponsor of the KBO Futures League since 2024. The "Monthly MediHill Futures Rookie Award," designed to encourage younger players playing in the Futures League and support the growth of prospects, will continue this year.

First introduced in 2024, the "Monthly Mediheal Futures Rookie Award" is a program that selects the best pitcher and batter every month based on the Futures League WAR (contribution to victory over replacement players) among players under the third year of joining the Futures League who met the regular innings or regular at-bats in the Futures League. Winners will be awarded 500,000 won in prize money and 500,000 won worth of Mediheal Cosmetics.

"I am grateful to be able to be with KBO, which has established itself as the best professional sport in Korea and brings joy to the people," MediHill Chairman Kwon Oh-seop said. "We hope that this sponsorship of the Futures League will establish itself as a more familiar brand to baseball fans as a partner in the present as well as the future of Korean professional baseball."

Meanwhile, a total of 12 teams will participate in the 2026 MediHill KBO Futures League, including new club Ulsan and Wales. The opening game will be held on March 20 at a total of six stadiums in Icheon (Doosan-LG), Seosan (Koyang-Hanwha), Mungyeong (SSG-Sangmu), Iksan (Samsung-KT), Masan (KIA-NC), and Ulsan (Lotte-Ulsan).
