The Hall of Fame announced additional changes to its era committees on April 22, 2022, effective immediately.<ref name=newformat/> The multiple eras previously utilized were collapsed into just two eras: the Contemporary Baseball Era (1980–present) and the Classic Baseball Era (prior to 1980).<ref name=newformat/> An annual rotation of three ballots was also defined:<ref name=newformat/>
* Contemporary Baseball Era players: balloting in December 2022 for the class of 2023
* Contemporary Baseball Era non-players (managers, executives, and umpires): balloting in December 2023 for the class of 2024
* Classic Baseball Era: balloting in December 2024 for the class of 2025
The rotation will then continue every three years.<ref name=newformat/> A one-year waiting period beyond potential BBWAA eligibility (which had been abolished in 2016) was reintroduced, thus restricting the committee to considering players retired for at least 16 seasons.<ref name=newformat/> 

In 2025, the eligibility rules were modified to require a candidate who did not receive a minimum of five votes to skip consideration for their next ballot cycle and wait six years for reconsideration; additionally, any candidate who fails to receive five votes on multiple ballots will be barred from any further consideration in the future.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/hall-of-fame-changes-era-committee-eligibility|website=MLB.com|publisher=Major League Baseball|date=March 6, 2025|title=Baseball Hall of Fame announces changes to Era Committee eligibility requirements|first=David|last=Adler}}</ref>
