Five days to decide the playoff teams in the Professional Baseball Championship

As of January 12, 2026, the Lidom Round Robin (semifinal) has entered its final and most intense stretch.

With only five games remaining in the schedule, the yellow (Águilas Cibaenas) and orange (Toros del Este) teams are in a direct sprint to see who will face the Leones del Escogido in the Final. Because they are tied, their head-to-head matchups and games against the eliminated Gigantes del Cibao are crucial.

Upcoming matchups:
Tuesday, 13 Jan: Gigantes at Águilas / Escogido at Toros.
Wednesday, 14 Jan: Toros at Águilas (Direct Duel – This could be the tiebreaker).
Thursday, 15 Jan: Gigantes at Águilas / Escogido at Toros.
Friday, 16 Jan: Águilas at Toros (Direct duel – Final showdown between the two).
Saturday, 17 Jan: The Round Robin is scheduled to officially end on this day.
