The Panamanian Baseball Federation (Spanish: Federación Panameña de Béisbol), known as FEDEBEIS, is the official governing body of baseball in Panama. It is in charge of the Panama national baseball team.

FEDEBEIS also organizes amateur baseball championships in the country, including the Campeonato Nacional de Béisbol Mayor (lit. "National Senior Baseball Championship"), which includes teams from all of the country's 12 provinces.[1] The Campeonato Mayor coexists with the Panamanian Professional Baseball League (PROBEIS) as one of two major baseball leagues in the country, and rivals PROBEIS in terms of attendance and popularity.[2][3] Certain provincial teams, such as Panamá Metro, have participated in both leagues.[4]

Senior league champions

Panamá Province was divided into Panamá Metro and Panamá Oeste in 1975, with Panamá Metro retaining the previous team's titles. The provincial teams of Darién, Panamá Oeste y Chiriquí Occidente are the only ones that have never won a championship as of 2024.
