The domestic TV and OTT broadcasters, as well as the cinema live-streaming plans, for the 2026 Asia Pro Baseball Championship (APBC) have been finalized.

This tournament, which opens on the 12th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, can be experienced vividly not only through TV channels and OTT platforms that broadcast the KBO League, but also in cinemas.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) stated, "For TV broadcasts, all games of the tournament, including the four matches featuring the South Korean national team, can be viewed through KBSN Sports, MBC Sports Plus, SBS Sports, and SPOTV, which are broadcasters for the KBO League."

As the intense heat of the KBO League postseason is expected to carry over into the APBC, the final international tournament of the year, baseball fans will be able to enjoy in real time the spectacular plays of the South Korean national team and Asian pro baseball prospects via TV.

TVING, the exclusive OTT broadcasting platform for the KBO League, will also exclusively live-stream all games of the 2026 APBC on OTT.

Following its coverage of the KBO League, TVING plans to enhance viewing convenience for baseball fans by providing live game broadcasts along with highlight and VOD services featuring key moments during this APBC tournament.

At CGV, which exclusively live-streams the KBO League in cinemas, fans can watch three preliminary matches of the South Korean national team. If the national team advances to the final, the championship match will also be added to the live-streaming schedule.

Baseball fans can enjoy the national team's games immersively with large screens and vivid sound, and they can also feel the intense atmosphere of a national representative match through cinema cheering, which has become an established baseball culture.

The APBC national team, which began its training camp on the 2nd, will clash for the title of Asia's strongest pro baseball team over four days from the 12th to the 15th, starting with their first match against Australia on the 12th and facing Japan, Taiwan, and Australia.
