PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. – Palm Beach County will once again be in the national baseball spotlight this October as Perfect Game brings five premier World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) tournaments to the destination. Spanning three weekends and hosted at two of The Palm Beaches’ premier Major League Baseball Spring Training facilities, the events will attract hundreds of teams, athletes, coaches, scouts, and families from across the country, further cementing the destination’s reputation as one of the nation’s leading hubs for amateur baseball and sports tourism.
The October lineup begins with the Perfect Game WWBA Fall Invitational, taking place October 2-5, 2026, at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter. Running concurrently, the WWBA Upperclass Fall Nationals will be held October 3-6, 2026, also at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. As the Spring Training home of both the St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium provides a professional-caliber setting where some of the country’s top high school athletes can compete while showcasing their skills in front of college recruiters and professional scouts.
The excitement continues the following week as Palm Beach County hosts two of Perfect Game’s most prestigious national championships. From October 8-12, 2026, the WWBA Freshman World Championship will take place at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, while Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium hosts the WWBA World Championship, one of Perfect Game’s flagship events. CACTI Park, the Spring Training home of the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals, offers athletes the opportunity to compete at a venue regularly used by Major League Baseball players. Together, these tournaments will bring many of the nation’s highest-ranked prospects and travel baseball organizations to Palm Beach County for five days of elite competition.
The month concludes with the WWBA 13U & 14U World Championship, scheduled for October 16-19, 2026, at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. The event will welcome top youth teams from around the United States and provide young athletes with the unique experience of competing on the same fields that host Major League Spring Training each year.
The inclusion of Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches highlights one of the destination’s greatest strengths: access to world-class baseball facilities that deliver a professional experience for athletes of all ages. These iconic venues not only serve as Spring Training homes for four Major League Baseball franchises but also play a critical role in attracting nationally recognized tournaments and championship events to The Palm Beaches.
Collectively, the five Perfect Game events are expected to generate a significant economic impact for Palm Beach County by driving hotel stays, restaurant visits, and spending at local businesses. Beyond the economic benefits, the tournaments showcase the county’s exceptional sports infrastructure and create memorable experiences for visiting athletes, families, coaches, and fans.
As one of the most respected organizations in amateur baseball, Perfect Game continues to attract elite talent from across the nation. Its robust October schedule further strengthens Palm Beach County’s standing as a premier destination for amateur baseball, where athletes have the opportunity to compete at championship-caliber events in world-class venues that are home to Major League Baseball each spring. By hosting five major WWBA tournaments in a single month, The Palm Beaches will welcome thousands of visitors while reinforcing its reputation as one of America’s premier baseball destinations.
