What You Need to Know About the 89th NBC World Series

On August 3^rd one of Wichita’s greatest summer traditions returns!  The National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series, powered by Evergy, will bring 10 days full of baseball tradition, family fun, and exciting entertainment to Wichita.

What is the NBC World Series?

The NBC World Series is a 16-team national tournament that showcases some of the best amateur talent across the country and has been held in Wichita every year since 1935.  Raymond “Hap” Dumont (think Lawrence-Dumont Stadium) founded the tournament and brought Satchel Paige in to play in the very first tournament, years before MLB was integrated.

Since then, the NBC World Series has featured everything from glo-ball and red, white & blue bases, to Gertie the Goose, to over 800 future major leaguers playing as a part of the National Baseball Congress.

Where can I see this year’s NBC World Series?

From August 3-12^th, the NBC World Series will be held at Eck Stadium, on the campus of Wichita State University. Up until semi-finals night on August 11^th, there are four games every day, starting at noon, and your ticket is good for the full day’s slate of games.
