The 2026 Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalists are being announced right now on X, position by position for each league.
The winners are set to be unveiled on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Each league has three finalists at each position, including the utility spot, which was awarded for the first time in 2022.
To determine the winners at the nine standard positions, the 30 MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team vote from a pool of players in their league, excluding players from their own team. These votes comprise 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index counting for the other 25%.
For the utility position, Rawlings collaborated with SABR to create a specialized defensive formula separate from the traditional selection process.
Each position’s finalists are listed below in alphabetical order as they are announced:
