History

Founding

On October 21, 2025, the WPBL announced that Boston would host one of the league's four inaugural teams, alongside New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. [1] Boston was chosen because of its loyal baseball fan base and rich history. [2]

The team does not have a name yet. Its main color is green, with a color scheme similar to that of Boston Legacy FC and the Boston Fleet. [3]

In November 2025, the team selected catcher Hyeonah Kim of South Korea with the fourth overall pick of the inaugural WPBL draft. [4]

2026

The team will not play in Boston during the 2026 WPBL season. Instead, Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, will be used as a neutral venue for the season. [5] League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of home games being introduced in subsequent seasons. [6]
