Finally, the 2026 international signing period has commenced.
Though many international players finalize agreements with their teams years in advance, January 15 marks the official start of the 2026 signing period, allowing players to officially sign contracts. Below, you can track signing agreements for all 30 teams, with updates expected throughout the day.
The players listed for each team have signing agreements with the corresponding organization. Similar to MLB draft picks or major league free agents, contracts become official only after a player has signed, passed a medical exam, and obtained approval from the commissioner’s office. While many players will finalize their contracts on January 15, some may sign later in the week or month. The signing period remains open until December 15.
