We have another fantastic summer of Victorian baseball in the books, and we thank everyone who took part in the 2025/26 VSBL season. Our beloved game wouldn’t be possible without dedicated players, coaches, umpires, scorers, volunteers, groundskeepers and clubs.

Best of luck to everyone taking part in winter ball, and we look forward to seeing you again next summer!

Congratulations to all our VSBL Premiers, and well done to the runner-up teams on their great work this season! Check out all the winners HERE and rewatch Premier League Grand Final Livestreams on Facebook.
