The KBO League, which has been challenging 10 million spectators for three consecutive years, announced a pleasant start with all the stadiums sold out for the opening game.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) officially announced on the 28th that "the KBO League has achieved a sellout of all stadiums for the opening game for four consecutive years."

On this day, the KBO League mobilized 105,878 people in a total of five games: LG Twins-KT Wiz in Jamsil, Seoul, Samsung Lions-Lotte Giants in Daegu, SSG Landers-KIA Tigers in Incheon, Hanwha Eagles-Kiwoom Heroes in Daejeon, and NC Dinos-Doosan Bears in Changwon.

The largest number of people gathered in Daegu, 24,000 in Jamsil, 23,750 in Jamsil, 23,000 in Incheon, 18,128 in Changwon, and 17,000 in Daejeon. This is the third-highest number of spectators on the opening day of KBO history, behind 114,021 in 2019 and 109,950 in 2025.

In addition, the sale of all stadiums is also the second record in history, continuing the sale of all stadiums for the first four consecutive opening games in the 2009-2012 season under the eight-team system.

It was expected to be a box office hit. The KBO League set a new record for the most spectators (12,312,519) last year to attract 10 million spectators for the last two consecutive years.

Moreover, he advanced to the second round (the quarterfinals) for the first time in 17 years at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), which was led by young players, raising expectations.

It is an exhibition game that reflects that expectation. In this year's exhibition game, the KBO League drew 442,47 spectators, the highest ever.
