Following a wildly successful inaugural season, Athletes Unlimited Softball League is returning for another year.
The AUSL is an innovative professional league that gives the nation's best athletes the chance to play at an elite level after college. The league officially launched in June 2025 with four franchises — the Bandits, Blaze, Talons and Volts — but they have since added two expansion teams, the Spark and Cascade.
After an extensive regular season, the AUSL culminates in the All-Star Cup, which is a four-week postseason campaign that decides that year's ultimate champion. The Talons won the league's inaugural title in 2025, sweeping the Bandits in a best-of-three series.
