Upcoming NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series sites announced

Charlotte, NC – The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) has announced the host sites for the NJCAA Division III Baseball World Series in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

Visit Johnson City will welcome the NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series in 2026 and 2028 at TVA Credit Union Ballpark in Johnson City, Tennessee. Their top-of-the-line facility will encourage an environment for student-athletes to thrive, while being advantageous for staff and spectators of the event. The National Championships will take place on May 23-27/28, 2026 and May 27-June 1, 2028.

"We at Visit Johnson City are thrilled to welcome the NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series to our city. This event marks not only an exciting moment for our community but also the beginning of a strong and lasting partnership with the NJCAA," stated Brenda Whitson, Executive Director at Visit Johnson City. "Our city's significant investment in upgrading and enhancing our sports venues reflects our commitment to creating a premier destination for collegiate-level events. These improvements pave the way for Johnson City to host more high-caliber competitions in the future, strengthening our role as a hub for athletic excellence and community engagement."

TVA Credit Union Ballpark has recently gone through renovations to ensure an optimal playing field for each team. In 2024, the stadium received brand new turf in the infield and outfield. The pitcher's mound and home plate were updated prior to the 2024 season. Refinishing to stadium seating and roofing were completed as a means to enhance the spectator experience.

Visit Johnson City's TVA Credit Union Ballpark is the home of the Johnson City Doughboys, a summer collegiate team in the Appalachian League.

"We are excited to host the NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series here at TVA Credit Union Ballpark! The continued stadium improvements over the past few years have allowed us to be primed to host this event. We can't wait to welcome everyone to Johnson City," stated Patrick Ennis, General Manager of the Johnson City Doughboys.

The NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series will find its way back to Cayuga Community College in 2027. It will take place in Auburn, NY at Falcon Park on May 29-June2/3, 2027.

Cayuga hosted the DIII National Tournament in 2024 and is set to host again on May 24-28/29, 2025. Falcon Park exhibited a prime environment for student-athletes and staff during the 2024 World Series, leading Cayuga to host the national tournament once again.

"Cayuga Community College is excited for the NJCAA Division III Baseball World Series to return to Falcon Park in Auburn for 2025 and 2027," said Dr. Brian Durant, Cayuga Community College President. "Falcon Park is one of the best facilities in junior college baseball, and it was a tremendous experience for all when the Park hosted the 2024 World Series. We appreciate the opportunity to host a premier NJCAA championship, and our College and the City of Auburn are looking forward to welcoming the teams and the NJCAA to our community."

Falcon Park hosts up to 2,800 spectators with features including an LED lighting system, video scoreboard, and sound system, as well as clubhouses and bullpens for participating teams and a press box.
