Two bats crossed (black and white coloring) in the middle with a beep baseball peeking out below them (white with red stitching and black speaker holes). Across the middle of the bats, in large letters, all caps, it says “World Series” (white lettering with red outline). Above “World Series” is smaller lettering that says “National Beep Baseball Association (white lettering with black background)”, and above that in gold lettering is “50th”. Below World Series is “August 2-8, 2026” (white lettering with black background). There is a navy blue home plate behind all of this. The top edge of the home plate peeking up above 50th is the outline of the Chicago skyline.

The 2026 World Series will be held August 2-8 in DuPage County/Aurora, Illinois.

We are looking forward to working with the DuPage Sports Commission and the Aurora Area Sports Alliance as we play beep baseball and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the National Beep Baseball Association.
