World Baseball Classic rosters for 2026 have officially been unveiled. While there will be plenty of players spread across the 20 tournament rosters who will be unfamiliar to casual baseball fans, there will also be plenty of higher-profile MLB talent taking the field when the WBC kicks off in March.

Below is the initial list of the 306 players playing in the World Baseball Classic who are affiliated with MLB clubs. Of those, 190 are on MLB 40-man major league rosters, while the others are players playing in the minors.

The New York Mets lead the way with 17 players participating in the WBC. The Mariners (16), Phillies (15), Red Sox (14), Royals (14), Pirates (14) and Brewers (14) round out the top group. The Astros and Nationals each have three participants. Every other MLB team has at least five players participating and 18 teams have 10 or more players on WBC rosters.
