After a 72-year wait, women's professional baseball is back.
The Women's Professional Baseball League will launch Aug. 1, 2026, marking the first pro league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — immortalized in A League of Their Own — folded in 1954.
Before opening day arrives, Stockton will get an early look.
The WPBL's Countdown Tour comes to Banner Island Ballpark on Thursday, July 2, from 5-8:30 p.m., bringing many of the nation's top female players together ahead of the inaugural season.
The event begins at 5 p.m. with on-field workouts led by accomplished baseball leaders Alex Hugo , Bree Nasti , Rocky Henley and Tamara Holmes . At 7:30 p.m., fans are invited onto the field for the WPBL FanFest, where they can meet players, collect autographs and take photos.
