The 2026 Night of Champions will be Thursday, Feb. 12, at the Marriott Kansas City - Overland Park.

“This year’s class includes legendary players, iconic coaches, a revered umpire, and – for the first time in Hall history – a sports agent whose impact helped define the modern era of college baseball. From game-changing players to pioneering leadership, their achievements capture the spirt and evolution of college baseball. We are especially proud that this class honors contributions from every division and aspect of the game – including our first sports agent inductee – whose behind-the-scenes efforts helped elevate college baseball as a pipeline to greatness.””
