The wait is over. The Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) has officially named its first four cities—Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Boston—marking a historic step in bringing professional women’s baseball to the national stage.
For players who have dreamed of this moment and fans who believed it could happen, this announcement turns hope into reality. The foundation of the WPBL is now set from coast to coast, connecting four cities bound by their love of the game and their role in shaping its future.
Why These Cities
Each of the inaugural cities carries deep baseball roots and a passionate fanbase. Together, they form the backbone of a league designed to honor the sport’s heritage while pushing it forward.
From the storied rivalries of the Northeast to the innovation and energy of the West Coast, the WPBL’s first four teams create a natural balance—mirroring the diversity and reach of baseball itself. These cities aren’t just markets; they’re cultural powerhouses ready to set the tone for a league built to last.
“These four cities represent everything the WPBL stands for—heritage, community, and opportunity. They’re iconic baseball towns that share our belief that women deserve a place in professional baseball.”
