The 2024 MAC Baseball Championship is set to take place on May 21-26, with the 2025 MAC Championship scheduled for May 20-25 and 2026 MAC Championship slated for May 19-24.

MAC Baseball returns to a familiar site as the conference championship was previously held at Mercy Health Stadium, formerly known as All Pro Freight Stadium, Sprenger Stadium and Crushers Stadium, from 2012-19.

"Our membership looks forward returning to Mercy Health Stadium," said MAC Commissioner Jon A. Steinbrecher. "The venue has hosted some great Mid-American Conference Tournament games and will no doubt host many more. I appreciate the partnership with the Lake Erie Crushers and we look forward to collaborating in providing an excellent host site for our student-athletes."

"The Crushers are thrilled to welcome the Mid-American Conference back to Avon, Ohio," said Lake Erie Crushers President Tom Kramig. "We look forward working with the MAC for many years to come."

Mercy Health Stadium, with a capacity of 5,000, opened in 2009 and is the home of the Lake Erie Crushers, a Major League Baseball franchise in the Frontier League.
