The PW National Championship Returns to the Florida Gulf Coast in 2026
⚾🏆 Prospect Wire National Championship
📍 South Sarasota County & Port Charlotte, FL
📅 July 18–22, 2026
The summer season will conclude in championship fashion as teams from across the country travel to Florida’s Gulf Coast for the Prospect Wire National Championship.
This premier event routinely welcomes 80+ teams, with the majority traveling in from outside the region to compete at some of the best baseball facilities in the country. Players will take the field at three MLB Spring Training complexes, including:
⚾ Baltimore Orioles Complex
⚾ Atlanta Braves Complex
⚾ Tampa Bay Rays Complex
These first-class, MLB-maintained facilities provide a professional playing environment that makes the National Championship one of the most anticipated events of the summer.
“This event has become a staple of our summer schedule,” said Brian Werner, President of Prospect Wire. “When you combine championship-level competition with the opportunity to play at Major League spring training facilities, it creates an experience players and families remember for a long time.”
Beyond the baseball, teams and families will experience everything that makes Florida’s Gulf Coast a premier travel destination — from beautiful beaches to great restaurants and family-friendly attractions throughout South Sarasota County and the Punta Gorda / Englewood Beach area.
“The Prospect Wire National Championship continues to be a tremendous event for our community,” said Pete Harvey, Director of Sports for Visit Sarasota County. “It brings high-quality teams from around the country and allows us to showcase our outstanding sports facilities and the incredible destination experience our region offers visiting families.”
“We’re proud to partner with Prospect Wire to host this event each summer,” said Sean Walters, CSEE, Business Development Director for Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach. “The National Championship not only brings top-level baseball to our area, but also introduces hundreds of visiting athletes and families to everything our destination has to offer.”
The Prospect Wire National Championship provides the perfect ending to the summer — elite competition, professional facilities, and an unforgettable Gulf Coast experience.
