2026 Major League Baseball draft

Uncommon card · No. 112438

The 2026 Major League Baseball draft took place on July 11–12, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The draft assigns amateur baseball players from the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico to Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The first six selections were set via a lottery, with first round picks belonging to the remaining lottery participants set in reverse order of regular season winning percentage. To complete the first round, playoff teams are in an order that combines postseason finish, revenue sharing status, and reverse order of winning percentage. Reverse order of regular season winning percentage and postseason finish will be used to set the draft order for rounds two through 20. The Chicago White Sox won the draft lottery and the first overall selection. The Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros were awarded a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick after Drake Baldwin won the NL Rookie of the Year and Hunter Brown finished in the top three for AL Cy Young.
