Season in Reviews
Each franchise of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England (FCBL) is comprised of elite collegiate athletes competing in a minor league style format. Each franchise provides high quality, affordable entertainment, in a family-friendly atmosphere. The league began its initial year of operations in 2011. The founders of the league are ownership groups from the Brockton Rox and the Lowell Spinners (Single A affiliate for the Boston Red Sox). The league's first season in 2011 had just four teams, and grew to 9 for the 2012 season and 10 teams in 2014 before going back down to 7 teams in 2019. The 2020 season had six teams as the Pittsfield Suns were inactive due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league expanded the league to 8 teams for the 2021 season with the addition of former affiliated teams: the Vermont Lake Monsters and the Norwich Sea Unicorns (formerly the Connecticut Tigers).
The FCBL plays a 64 game schedule, 32 home games and 32 away games. The league champion is determined by a playoff immediately after the regular season ends. Just four teams will qualify for the playoffs, with both the semifinal and championship rounds now being contested as a best-of-three series.
Any student-athlete who wishes to play in the league must be:
- Currently enrolled in a NCAA or NAIA sanctioned college or university
- Be in good academic standing
- Have at least one year of eligibility remaining
FCBL bylaws mandate each team have at least 10 players selected from a New England-based college or be a resident of New England (or a combination of the two). We encourage student-athletes visit our Contact Us page to inquiry about available roster spots.
