2026 Major League Baseball draft

The 2026 MLB Draft Lottery was held on December 9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, during the Winter Meetings. The Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels were ineligible to participate in the lottery, as per a rule in the collective bargaining agreement between Major League Baseball (MLB) and MLB Players Association that limits teams in larger markets from winning draft lottery picks in consecutive seasons, as well as limits teams in smaller markets from winning draft lottery picks three seasons in a row. The following table lists the percentage chances for each seed to receive lottery picks as a result of the draft lottery. ==Draft selections==
