The Women’s Pro Baseball League has announced that ticket sales for its inaugural 2026 season are now live.
The league, which features teams based in New York, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles, will make its debut Aug. 1 at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield.
The WPBL has implemented a tiered ticket release schedule. Season tickets are available now, with group and flex packages set to go on sale June 2. Individual game tickets will be available June 11.
The league is also rolling out its Statement Collection apparel line alongside each ticket package announcement. The first drop, "We Play Hardball," launched with the season tickets.

“This is more than just launching ticket sales, it is an invitation for fans to claim their spot in history,” said WPBL Commissioner Justine Siegal. “The incredible momentum behind women’s sports has been building toward this moment, and on August 1st, these elite athletes will finally have a professional baseball league of their own. We can’t wait to see the stands packed with fans cheering for these four incredible teams as they inspire the next generation of ballplayers.”
The 30-game regular season will kick off Aug. 1, with each team playing a total of 15 games to determine seeding for the playoffs in September.
After the opening weekend, all games are scheduled for Wednesday through Sunday with most games scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. CT.
Following the regular-season finale on Sept. 6, the postseason will begin Sept. 9. The first round will feature a best-of-three series between Seed 1 and Seed 4, as well as Seed 2 and Seed 3. The winners will advance to a best-of-five championship series starting Sept. 16.
Opening weekend will feature Team USA's Denae Benites and Kylee Lahners of New York taking on a Los Angeles lineup that includes center fielder Mo'ne Davis, USA Baseball National Women's Team and Banana Ball star Ashton Lansdell, and Japanese legend Ayami Sato.
