Professional baseball games have been abruptly canceled due to the relentless heatwave continuing day after day.

The KBO announced that all 10 games scheduled to take place at five stadiums nationwide today (August 5) and tomorrow have been canceled due to the extreme heat.

This marks the first time in history that an entire slate of professional baseball games has been canceled due to a heatwave.

The KBO plans to hold an executive committee meeting tomorrow to discuss comprehensive league operation guidelines and safety measures regarding heatwaves from scratch.
