On the 7th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group C pool game between Korea and Japan was held.

Korea started submarine Ko Young-pyo, and Japan started left-hander Kikuchi Yusei. Korea, which reached the semifinals in the WBC in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, has since failed to advance past the first round in three straight tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, the team is aiming to return to the quarterfinal knockout stage. In the first game against the Czech Republic on the 5th, the team made a strong start with an 11-4 rout.
