Tournament Preview

2026 Cincinnati bracket and team list link

The Cincinnati Major returns to Mid America Ballyard for the first time since 2022 this Friday through Sunday. The games start on Friday at 4:00 PM eastern time with 27 teams total from 15 different states, and 19 of the teams are part of the Conference USSSA league. 14 of the teams are classed ‘A’ and above. The winner will get 180 + (19 x 4) = 256 Conference Points! The weather looks to be very cool and historically Cincinnati has the most upsets of any tournament on the schedule. If they use the Pro-M balls that were used in Las Vegas or Texas, look for record high scores, middle wars, and 2.5 hour long games. The ‘AA’ teams should have a shot to win this one but the Major teams with their big budgets will probably out last them on Sunday for the win. Resmondo leads the Resmondo vs Dan Smith series this year 3 games to 2 and all 4 Major teams are in the bracket.

USSSALive.com will livestream the event and the chat room on ConferenceUSSSA.com will be up for updates and to answer your questions but NOTE: the livestream has never worked very well in Cincinnati due to the park being at the bottom of a mountain away from cell towers. I would say, check the chat room to see if the livestream is working before purchasing, but I don’t know if my phone will work in order to update the chat…

Mid America has gone through a transformation since the Conference was last there. They now have artificial turf infields and the fences are longer than 300 feet in certain places.
