The Athletes Unlimited Softball League has entertained spectators in the stands and viewers at home throughout the first half of the inaugural season with home runs, grand slams, shutouts, and mercy rule victories thanks to top talent on the diamond. Learn about where the action takes place and the complete roster of teams that are competing to become the first-ever AUSL champions in 2025.

What cities will the AUSL play in?

From June 7 to June 23, the AUSL has so far played games in Rosemont, Ill.; Wichita, Kan.; Sulphur, La.; Chattanooga, Ten.; and Norman, Okla. The second half of the season will kick off with a revisit to Rosemont on July 7 through 9, followed by stops in Omaha, Neb.; Seattle; Salt Lake City; Round Rock, Texas; and Tuscaloosa, Ala. The championship series will be held in Tuscaloosa from July 26 to July 28. The league will have visited 10 cities in total throughout the season.

How many teams are in the AUSL?

Currently, only four teams compete in the league: the Bandits, Blaze, Talons, and Volts. Unlike typical American professional sporting leagues, AUSL teams are neither based in a fixed location nor play on a designated home field.

Why don’t AUSL teams have a home city?

The AUSL is a touring property in the 2025 season, with plans to become a city-based league beginning in 2026.

How many players are on each AUSL roster?

Each roster comprises of 15 players drafted on January 29 and May 3. Additional spots are filled by free agent signings and the Reserve Athlete Pool.
