The 2026 Canadian Baseball League season is the 108th season of operation and first professional season of the Canadian Baseball League. The CBL was known as the Intercounty Baseball League until November 2025. Nine teams in Ontario will compete during the season. The teams are located in Barrie (Barrie Baycats), Brantford (Brantford Red Sox), Chatham-Kent (Chatham-Kent Barnstormers), Guelph (Guelph Royals), Hamilton (Hamilton Cardinals), Kitchener (Kitchener Panthers), London (London Majors), Toronto (Toronto Maple Leafs), and Welland (Welland Jackfish). The Jackfish are the reigning Dominico Cup champions entering the season.[1]

League and team changes

On November 24, 2025, it was announced that the league would be rebranding from the Intercounty Baseball League to the Canadian Baseball League for the 2026 season.[2] It was also announced that the league would be transitioning from semi-pro to fully professional with a monthly salary cap of CA$30,000 per team, a season expansion from 42 to 48 games, and clearer league-wide standards and regulations.[3] There will also be changes to the postseason format, with five teams qualifying and two best of seven series preceded by a one game playoff between the fourth and fifth place teams.[4][1]

On November 27th, the Guelph Royals were put up for sale. The Royals, which joined the league as a founding member in 1919, had previously been sold after not fielding a team for the 2017 IBL season.[5]
