MIAMI The Miami Marlins and Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation today announce a multi-year exclusive partnership for the broadcast rights of the historic Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe). The partnership gives the Marlins exclusive rights across all platforms globally (excluding in Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela - the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation member leagues), including but not limited to linear, streaming, radio and more, beginning in 2024.

The Caribbean Series is a prestigious international event, and we are excited to team with the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation as we look to expand the reach of the game, both in the United States and around the globe, said Caroline OConnor, Marlins President of Business Operations. With continued efforts to providing access for fans to enjoy the sport, we will work with broadcast partners to showcase the electric tournament to fans across the world who cannot join us in Miami.

One of the achievements that excites us most with this new contract, starting in Miami 2024, is the security that the Caribbean Series will have distribution in English, and of course partnering with an MLB club in the Miami Marlins, said Dr. Juan Francisco Puello Herrera, Commissioner of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation. With the signing of a new contract with the Marlins, we can expect that the Organizing Committee will achieve the sponsorship objectives, thereby favoring the association of the Caribbean Series with international brands and establishing better commercial foundations for the event.

The Caribbean Series is the annual Winter League Championship Tournament, sanctioned by Major League Baseball, and will be held at loanDepot park, marking the first time it will be held at an MLB venue in tournament history. The teams that will compete in Miami will be Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the three invited participants, Curaao, Nicaragua, and Panama. The tournament will begin on February 1, and conclude with the Championship game on February 9.

With a remarkably rich history since 1949, the tournament has seen many Hall of Famers and All-Stars participate in the Caribbean Series, including Rod Carew, Miguel Cabrera, Roberto Clemente, Edgar Martinez, David Ortiz, Ivan Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, and many more.
