Q-School will be held from the 5th to select players for the first part of the 2026-27 season of professional baseball.

The Professional Basketball Association (PBA) announced on the 2nd that "2026 PBA Q-School" will be held at the Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do from the 5th.

PBA Cue School is a competition to select players for the first part of the next season. The bottom 50% of the players who were demoted from the first part of the previous season and the top players of the Dream Tour (second part) will compete for promotion and relegation.

First, the first round of Cue School will be held from the 5th to the 7th. In the first round, a total of 68 people will participate in the first round, with 25th to 120th in the Dream Tour point rankings eligible to participate. In the first round, the top 30 players who will advance to the second round will be selected.

In the second round, which will be held from the 13th to the 15th, more than 60 first-division players, including Hwang Deuk-hee (SY) and Han Ji-seung (Welcome Savings Bank), will join to compete with players who passed the first round for tickets to the first-division tour. About 30 players who passed the second round will be eligible to register for the first part of the next season.

Cue School will be held as a single-round tournament, with 35 points in the first round and 40 points in the second round. By date of the tournament, the players who pass the tournament will be determined to advance to the upper round. Other players earn five points per tournament win, and they advance to the next round depending on their performance after the end of the round.

Meanwhile, on the 12th, the "2026 LPBA Tryout" will be held at the Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.
