The 2026 Pinto 8U International Baseball Classic will feature an exciting and highly anticipated format, crowning three (3) champions:
- Red Division Champion
- Gold Division Champion

- Sunday: Single-Elimination Tournament
At the conclusion of play on Sunday afternoon, the Red Division Champion and the Gold Division Champion will meet

Aside from the addition of this championship game, the tournament will operate exactly as it has in recent years.
