2026 MLB New Rules.

In a nutshell............

Key 2026 Rule Changes:

ABS Challenge System: Players can challenge subjective strike/ball calls using "robot umpire" technology. A tap on the helmet or hat signals the challenge. If the umpire's call is overturned, the team retains the challenge.

Extra Inning Challenges: If a team runs out of challenges, they receive one additional challenge in extra innings.

Checked Swing Challenges: Players can use their ABS challenges on checked-swing calls. A swing is defined as the bat breaking a 45-degree angle.

Base Coach Regulations: Coaches must remain within their designated boxes while the pitcher is on the rubber to prevent sign stealing, according to MLB.com.

Runner Obstruction: Runners cannot initiate contact with fielders to deliberately draw an obstruction call, per MLB.com.
