2026 FutureSox MLB Draft Tracker

The 2026 MLB Draft will take place live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as part of All Star week once again. The event will run on Saturday July 11 and Sunday July 12 in a change to the previous format. The draft will include 20 rounds but bonuses have escalated significantly year over year. Day one of the draft will entail the first four rounds and the White Sox will make four selections that day. Rounds 5-20 will take place on Sunday for the first time in another change to the overall format.

We’ll have you covered here at FutureSox with this updated draft tracker. This will be a one-stop shop for information on each White Sox selection. This tracker will be updated with signing bonus information as we get it. Here is the 2025 Draft Tracker as a guide to follow. This will be the third draft with Chris Getz as the club’s general manager.
