The 2022 WBSC Men's Softball World Championship was the 17th Men's Softball World Championship, an international softball tournament taking place in Auckland, New Zealand from 26 November to 4 December 2022.[1] Originally scheduled for February 2021, the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] New Zealand last hosted the tournament in 2013. It will be the 17th edition of the tournament.

    Placement Round[edit]

    The bottom three teams from each group progress to the placement round. Head to head results against the other bottom three team from the Opening Round will carry over to help determine final placings. In games between equal seeds, a coin toss determines the home team.[13]
