The 2023 World Baseball Classic Pool C was the third of four pools of the 2023 World Baseball Classic that took place from March 11th-15th at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] The Pool C winner and runner up, Mexico and United States advanced to the Quarterfinals 2 round, as well as the Pool D winner and runner up. The Quarterfinals 2 round will be played March 17–18, 2023 in Miami.[2] The teams in this pool consisted of Canada, Colombia, newcomer Great Britain, Mexico, and hosts and defending champions United States.[3]
After starting with a loss to Colombia, Mexico bounced back with three straight wins over the United States, Great Britain and Canada to advance to the quarterfinals as pool winners.[4] The U.S. and Colombia played the last game of the pool, a Colombia win would force a three-way tie which could also favor Canada depending on tiebreakers. The U.S. won 3–2 to advance. Colombia fell to 1–3, tying with Great Britain, but as they lost the head-to-head game, Colombia was relegated to the 2026 World Baseball Classic qualifiers.[5]
