87th NBC World Series - 2021

For the 87th consecutive year, Wichita will host the National Baseball Congress World Series. Similar to 2020, this year's event will be a little different. The tournament will be played across two locations - Hutchinson’s Hobart-Detter Field (Aug. 4-8) and the new Riverfront Stadium (Aug. 9-14). 

Organizers are planning on a field of 16 teams, including league champions and independent at-large teams invited from across the country. The eight teams who win two games in Hutchinson will advance to championship week in Wichita, where game times are 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Here’s a primer that will help you enjoy the nation’s premier amateur baseball event in Wichita this summer.
