Sun Belt Conference Extends Baseball Partnership with Montgomery

Montgomery, Alabama, has been selected to host the Sun Belt Baseball Championship through 2030 as part of the league’s ongoing partnership with the Central Alabama Sports Commission and the city of Montgomery.

The 2025 Sun Belt Baseball Championship will take place from May 20–25, with all games at Riverwalk Stadium — home to the Tampa Bay Rays Double-A affiliate Montgomery Biscuits. The five-year extension builds on an initial five-year agreement that brought the Sun Belt Baseball Championship to Montgomery from 2021–2025.

During that span, the Sun Belt has grown from 12 to 14 members and sent four or more teams to NCAA Baseball Regionals in each of the past three seasons. Over the past four years, the Sun Belt has sent 13 teams to NCAA Baseball Regionals, with nine advancing to their respective regional finals.

“The Sun Belt Conference is excited to extend our partnership with the Central Alabama Sports Commission and the City of Montgomery,” said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill. “Our student-athletes, coaches and fans have established traditions around starting the Road to Omaha in Montgomery — a community that has embraced the rising brand of Sun Belt baseball.”

The extension will make Montgomery the second-most frequent host of the Sun Belt Baseball Championship with 10 events, trailing only Mobile, Alabama, which has hosted 13.

“Montgomery is proud to continue our partnership with the Sun Belt Conference, keeping the Sun Belt Baseball Tournament right here in the Capital of Dreams through 2030,” said Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed. “This extension reaffirms our city’s reputation as a premier destination for championship events, bringing economic impact, tourism and excitement to our community. We look forward to welcoming teams, fans and visitors for years to come.”
