Women's Professional Baseball League: Boston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco chosen as first four teams

Boston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco have been announced as the cities representing the four teams during the inaugural season of the Women’s Professional Baseball League.

The league made the announcement Tuesday ahead of next month's draft.

The four cities were selected "because of their fan support, market size, media presence and rich baseball histories," according to the WPBL.

Initially announced as a six-team league, the WPBL will begin play in 2026 and mark the first active professional women’s baseball league since the 1940s. Tryouts were held in August in Washington D.C. and the top 100 players, including former Little League star Mo’ne Davis and USA baseball’s Kelsie Whitmore, advanced to be eligible for selection in the WPBL Draft.
