The 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame class will be revealed on Tuesday, Jan. 20, with Carlos Beltrán – and perhaps Andruw Jones – looking likely to be enshrined alongside Jeff Kent this summer in Cooperstown, N.Y.
In his fourth year on the ballot, Beltrán is expected to finally get over the hump and win the required 75% share of the vote from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Meanwhile, Jones has climbed all the way from 7.3% in his debut to 66.2% last year and one of the greatest center fielders in history could cross the threshold in 2026, his second-to-last chance.
Here’s what to know about Hall of Fame’s upcoming announcement:
