History

[edit]

Founding

[edit]

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

The team does not have a name yet. Its main color is blue, with a color scheme similar to that of the Los Angeles Dodgers.[3][independent source needed]

In November 2025, the team selected Ayami Sato with the second overall pick of the inaugural WPBL draft.[4] The team also selected Mo'ne Davis with the tenth overall pick in the draft.[4]

2026

[edit]

The team will not play in Los Angeles in 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 exhibition games being played at the four cities.[6]
