The 2023 Baseball Champions League Americas was the first edition of the Baseball Champions League Americas, an international competition for baseball clubs organized by the WBSC Americas, part of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).

The first edition was held in the Parque Kukulcán Alamo, in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, from 28 September to 1 October 2023. The competition was sanctioned by WBSC and the Mexican League and featured four teams from Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and the United States.[1][2]

A single round-robin format was used, with each team facing each other once. The top two teams advanced to the final game.[3]

The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, representing United States, won the tournament after defeating the Caimanes de Barranquilla, from Colombia, in the championship game, 8–0. The Leones de Yucatán (Mexico) placed third and the Alazanes de Granma (Cuba) finished fourth.[4][5] Fargo Moorhead RedHawks catcher Roy Morales earned the Most Valuable Player Award of the tournament.[6]
