Baseball in Mexico

A la bio, a la bao, a la bin bon bah, rah, rah, rah!

Find yourself cheering along with the enthusiastic crowd as they cheer their favorite team. The noise, the food and the excitement – these are all part of the fun in watching a baseball game in Mexico. These baseball games imbibe a uniquely Mexican flavor that locals and tourists are sure to enjoy.

The baseball games are hosted by the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol (LMB), a professional league that can be likened to America's Triple A minor league baseball. The regular season has 100 games and runs from mid-March to the end of June. The league is divided into a southern and northern zone, and zone winners compete in a best-of-seven playoff series. The postseason runs through the months of July and August.
