Who won the 64th Cuban National Series?

Matanzas, managed by Armando Ferrer. The Cocodrilos finished second in the classificatory stage behind Las Tunas, then went 12-2 through the postseason. Industriales took bronze.

Matanzas’ road to the title

The clincher was over almost before it started. Matanzas sent the whole order to the plate in the first inning without recording an out, stringing together eight consecutive hits for seven runs and forcing three Las Tunas pitchers to work before the second. Ariel Martínez homered in the second to make it 10-0, and a run in the fifth finished it. Three of the four games in the series were effectively decided inside the first third.

Las Tunas came in as defending champions and as the team that topped the classificatory table, having taken the head-to-head sub-series against Matanzas 3-2 during the regular season and beaten Artemisa 4-2 in the semi-finals. Neither counted for much in February. The final was played at a neutral Estadio Latinoamericano rather than in Las Tunas or Matanzas, a concession to the country’s fuel and logistics situation.

As champions, Matanzas earned Cuba’s place at the third Baseball Champions League Américas in Mexico City from 24 to 29 March 2026.

About this table. This is the schedule as published by the Cuban Baseball Federation, transcribed from the official subserie graphics below. Home and away are taken from the listed venue rather than the printed team order, which is not consistent between subseries. Doubleheaders and rescheduled games mean the card actually played differs in places. The subserie numbering skips 72. The published graphics run …70, 71, then 73. No games were played on 1 December 2025 — it fell on a rest day — and 30 November instead carried doubleheaders at Las Tunas and Granma. Subserie 72 appears to have been scheduled and then absorbed rather than played as its own date, so there is no missing fixture to add.
