Attention, my sporty queers! The Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) just dropped its official schedule for its inaugural 2026 season, so if you’ve been waiting for women’s baseball to get the professional spotlight it deserves, this is it.

For those just tuning in, the WPBL is a new professional league built specifically for women to play baseball at the highest level. Founded in 2024 by the first woman to coach for an MLB team, Justine Siegal, and Keith Stein, CEO of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team, the league features four teams: Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It’s designed to create a sustainable, competitive space for women in a sport that has historically shut them out.

The league’s upcoming first season is genuinely historic. WPBL will mark the first professional women’s baseball league in more than 70 years, following the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which folded in the ’50s. Every game is setting a precedent—how the teams compete, how fans show up, how the league grows. These are the first breakout stars and the first moments people will reference years from now when the league expands and levels up.

And yes, the setup is tight. With only four teams, everyone is playing everyone, often. That means rivalries will build fast, games will feel personal, and no one is coasting. East Coast versus West Coast is already baked in, and you already know New York vs. Boston is going to get a little heated.

The season runs from early August through early September, with all games hosted at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, IL. Each team will play 15 games, and regular season standings will determine the matchups for the first-ever WPBL Playoffs—a three-game series set to begin on September 9. The season will culminate in the WPBL Championship, a five-game series to determine the first-ever WPBL Champions.

Stay tuned through WPBL’s email list or on Instagram as the league prepares to announce more information ahead of the inaugural season.
