How the LIDOM title is decided
The Dominican Professional Baseball League, known as LIDOM, is the professional winter league of the Dominican Republic. The seasons from 1951 to 1954 were played within a single calendar year; since 1955-56 the league has played in winter, so seasons are named after two years (for example 2025-26).
Today six clubs play the regular season, the top four advance to the Round Robin and the two best teams from the Round Robin meet in the final. The champion represents the Dominican Republic at the Caribbean Series. See the LIDOM standings and the schedule and scores for the current season.
