The 46th edition of the World’s longest consecutively running Wiffle® Ball tournament, the World Wiffle® Ball Championship, will take place August 16-17, 2025, at the Crown Point Sportsplex in Crown Point, Indiana.

The WWBC is open to players of all ages, with the youngest player currently registered at 8 years old and the eldest at 66 years old.  Registration for the 46th World Wiffle® Ball Championship is open through Sunday, August 10, at www.worldwiffleball.org.

The World Wiffle® Ball Championship is a two-day event, with all teams guaranteed four games in a pool play format on Saturday and qualifying teams participating in a single-elimination tournament on Sunday to crown a World Champion.  2024 World Champion, Wiffle Dees, will look to defend the Princess City Crown.

Since 2018, proceeds from the World Wiffle® Ball Championship have benefited the South Suburban Humane Society in Matteson, Illinois, with over $17,000 raised to help animals in need.

“We are thrilled to come back to Crown Point for the 46th World Wiffle Ball® Championship to raise money for a great cause, while playing the greatest backyard game there is,” said co-commissioner, Nate Hansen.  “The WWBC truly is where the kids play with the kids-at-heart.”

Since the tournament’s creation in Mishawaka, Indiana in 1980, the event has also been featured in The Ringer, ESPN The Magazine, Men’s Health, USA Today, and on ESPN, Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC-TV.

More information regarding the 45th World Wiffle® Ball Championship can be found at worldwiffleball.org, as well as on social media on X (@worldwiffleball), Facebook (@worldwiffleball) and Instagram (@worldwiffleballchampionship).
