Itching for WPBL to start. August 1st, 2026 seems far away, but some recap for the uninitiated:

From Commissioner Justine Siegal PhD:
"Across the USA and around the world, women have always played baseball. From backyard games with older siblings, to rec leagues across the country, women have found ways to play the sport they love. Baseball is Americaās pastime, but the professional game hasnāt evolved to reflect the diversity of those who play, watch and love this sport. Thatās about to change.
A long time dream is coming into focus: a professional womenās baseball league for a new generation. The Womenās Pro Baseball League is here.
Weāre creating a stage where elite womenās baseball players have a place to shine, and establishing a pipeline for every girl who dreams of competing at the highest level one day. A league of their own, for the first time since the AAGPBL of the 1940s. This league is just one part of a larger cultural shift. Women in sports are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Weāre at the beginning of a new chapter and itās time for our athletes to write their story.Ā
What started as an idea is now a reality. Weāre less than five months away from the WPBLās opening day on August 1st, 2026 and already so much has happened. The world has taken notice of what weāre doing, and hundreds of thousands of people have tuned in to follow along. People just like you. Thank you for supporting this league. For supporting women in baseball. Youāre a part of this. A part of history.
The next chapter begins this August.
We hope youāll join us in making history."
Games will be aired on various streaming platforms and most importantly, the league's youtube channel.
