The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (WIPR) announced today that it will be the official channel of the Puerto Rico Baseball Challenge in a collaboration with MB Sports, which will take place from February 14 to 17, 2025 at the Paquito Montaner stadiums in Ponce and Solá Morales in Caguas.
As part of this celebration, eight Division I universities in the United States will come together for a weekend of games, marking the beginning of their 2025 regular season, heading to the College World Series in Omaha. Participating universities are: Rice University, Stetson University, University of Connecticut, Villanova University, University of Virginia, Penn State University and University of Missouri.
WIPR will be responsible for the production and broadcast of these games, both for the enjoyment of the Puerto Rican public through the town’s channel signals and in the United States on ESPN under the full WIPR signal. Likewise, the games will be broadcast on the WIPR digital application.
“We remain focused on providing our audience with quality content and healthy entertainment for the whole family. We know that sport is something that always unites us and being able to present, both on television and digitally, these games will be something for everyone to enjoy. We also thank the management of ESPN, with whom we have coordinated this collaboration,” said Jorge Pagán, president of WIPR.
“The Puerto Rico Baseball Challenge marks a historic moment for collegiate baseball, bringing for the first time to Puerto Rico a competition of this magnitude with Division I teams from the United States. We are excited to work together with WIPR and ESPN to offer an unprecedented experience that will highlight our island as an ideal setting for world-class sporting events. This is an event that unites communities and celebrates young talent in a sport that we are so passionate about,” added Anaymir “Tuti” Muñoz, producer of the event.
