Baja California is a Smash region that consists of the Mexican states Baja California and Baja California Sur. The region encompasses Tijuana and its metropolitan area, which is where the majority of tournament activity takes place. The region borders Southern California to the north; due to its close proximity, there is often overlap between the two regions, and players from Baja California have made appearances on the SoCal Power Rankings. Baja California also borders Sonora to its east.

Baja California has historically seen a few notable players, including JaimeHR and Mariguas for Smash 64, Eddy Mexico for Melee, and TKD for Brawl. However, the region's representation has seen even more representation during Ultimate's competitive lifespan, with several of Mexico's best players coming from the region, including AlanDiss, Andrik, and WaKa. Most notable among these players is Sparg0, widely considered to be one of the best Ultimate players in the post-online metagame.

Baja California also features several notable tournament series, including Tijuana At War, Smash Revolution, EL DOJO MASTERS, and PSK SHOWDOWN.
