The 2024 Caribbean Series gets underway Thursday at Miami’s LoanDepot Park. This year, seven countries will compete: Venezuela (Tiburones de La Guaira), Dominican Republic (Tigres del Licey), Puerto Rico (Criollos de Caguas), Mexico (Naranjeros de Hermosillo), Panama (Federales de Chiriqui), Curacao (Curaçao Suns) and Nicaragua (Gigantes de Rivas).
Last year, the Dominican Republic’s Tigres del Licey won the Caribbean Series. The Tigres have now won 11 titles — the most of any team.
The Series’ first phase is a round-robin format among the seven teams, with the top four advancing to the semifinal doubleheader on Feb. 8. The one-game championship, along with the consolation game, follows on Feb. 9.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 66th edition of the Caribbean Series.
