PORTLAND, Ore. – West Coast League Commissioner Rob Neyer has released the WCL’s 2027 schedule.

The season opens Tuesday, June 1, with three series. The Kamloops NorthPaws host the Wenatchee AppleSox, the Yakima Valley Pippins entertain the Marion Berries, and the Victoria HarbourCats welcome the Nanaimo NightOwls for the first chapter of their passionate Vancouver Island rivalry.

The rest of the league joins the action Friday, June 4, when the Bend Elks, Edmonton Riverhawks, Kelowna Falcons, Marion Berries, NightOwls, and Ridgefield Raptors all open their home seasons. This year the Riverhawks broke their own WCL record for home attendance, and nobody’s betting they won’t do it again.

“Having the schedule in hand this fall is when next summer starts to feel real,” said Neyer. “Our 2027 schedule has plenty of what makes this league special, with great local rivalries and memorable road trips – including many by air! – for our players, coaches, and traveling fans.”

The Springfield Drifters host Yakima Valley on Monday, June 7. The Bellingham Bells, Portland Pickles, Walla Walla Sweets, and AppleSox each open at home Tuesday, June 8. After beginning their season with a trip north to Kamloops and Kelowna (British Columbia), the 2026 champion AppleSox host consecutive series against perennial contenders Victoria and Bellingham.

Finally, the defending South Division champion Corvallis Knights celebrate their home opener when the Raptors visit Oregon State University’s Goss Stadium on Tuesday, June 15.

The Knights’ opener completes the WCL’s 15-team home lineup. With the Port Angeles Lefties no longer members of the West Coast League, in 2027 the North Division will feature seven teams, the South Division eight.

On Wednesday, July 14, the HarbourCats and the City of Victoria are hosting the WCL All-Star Game for the second straight summer.

The 54-game regular season concludes Wednesday, August 11. The WCL’s traditional three-round postseason format remains in place, starting with best-of-three divisional playoffs in both the North and South beginning Friday, August 13. The division championship games are scheduled for Tuesday, August 17, and the 2027 WCL Championship Game for Thursday, August 19.

Every West Coast League game will be livestreamed free of charge, so stay tuned for nearly three months of entertaining, high-quality, collegiate summer baseball.
