VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton University will host the 2026 America East Baseball Championship from May 20 to May 23, with the Bearcats looking to capture their second straight conference title as the No. 1 seed.
The six-time America East champions have had the opportunity to hoist the conference trophy on home turf in recent years, most notably in 2023, when Binghamton hosted Maine at the newly-renovated Bearcats Baseball Complex in the conference finals but fell, 6-1. This year, Binghamton (28-20, 17-7 America East) has several factors supporting the team’s first conference title win at home, including sitting atop the conference and having a full roster of former champs and fresh talent.
