The Contemporary Baseball Era Committee will meet in December 2026 at baseball's winter meetings to consider the election of managers, executives or umpires who have made their greatest impact on the game since 1980.[6] Any candidate not receiving at least five votes will be ineligible for consideration in the committee's next ballot, and any candidate who does not receive at least five votes in multiple ballots will be permanently ineligible for all of the committee's future ballots.[7][8]
