Lewiston extends NAIA World Series contract through 2027

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NAIA World Series will stay in Lewiston through at least 2027 after the NAIA national office announced an extension with Lewis-Clark State College.

Avista has agreed to remain the title sponsor of the national tournament at Harris Field.

The tournament, which has been played in Lewiston every year since 2000, has welcomed more than 1 million fans through its gates. Since its return to the Valley, 12 different champions have been crowned on Harris Field and 87 different teams have made the journey to Lewiston. 

LC State and the NAIA agreed on the extension with ongoing discussions to extend to a long-term agreement. LC State athletic director Ronnie Palmer will continue the conversation with officials from the NAIA national office at the 2025 ABCA (American Baseball Coaches Association) Convention in January. 

Avista has agreed to remain the title sponsor of the Series, continuing the partnership that has been in place since 2000.

Tickets for the 2025 Avista NAIA World Series will go on sale in February and renewals are live now. Emails have been sent to 2024 ticket holders with information on how to renew.
