The Williamsport Crosscutters announced their 2026 game schedule. The sixth season of the MLB Draft League will open on June 2 and conclude September 1.

Williamsport opens the 2026 season at home at Bowman Field with a three-game series against the 2025 MLB Draft League champion West Virginia Black Bears from June 2-4. Again this season, all MLB Draft League teams will make visits to Bowman Field as part of Williamsport’s 41 home games.

A highlight of the 2026 schedule is an International Series, including National Team representation from both Canada and Mexico, June 12-14. In addition, a familiar foe returns to Williamsport for the first time since 2019 as the MLB Draft League welcomes the Aberdeen IronBirds to take the place of the departing Frederick Keys.

Williamsport and Aberdeen were both members of the Short-Season Class A New York-Penn League.

Home game times will again be 6:35 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 4:05 p.m. on Sundays with the exception of the Fourth of July, which features a special 1:05 p.m. first pitch.

The MLB Draft League, run by Major League Baseball, serves as a showcase during the season’s first half (June 2-July 5) for top draft-eligible prospects leading up the MLB Draft. After a break for the draft, play resumes in the second half (July 8-Sept. 1) with professional players who have exhausted their amateur eligibility.

The first-place team from each half will meet in the MLB Draft League Championship Game on Sept. 2.

In the league’s first five seasons, over 200 players have been drafted by MLB clubs, including 39 members of the Williamsport Crosscutters. Additionally, over 150 players from the league have signed professional contracts as undrafted free agents.
