The defending champion Williamsport Crosscutters, in conjunction with the MLB Draft League, have announced their 2027 game schedule. The 7th season of the MLB Draft League will open on June 2nd and conclude August 31.
Williamsport opens defense of their 2026 championship at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field with a 2-game series against the West Virginia Black Bears June 2nd and 3rd. As part of the schedule, all MLB Draft League teams will make visits to Journey Bank Ballpark as part of Williamsport’s 40 home games.
A highlight of the 2027 schedule is the continuation of the International Series, when the Crosscutters will host an international team June 11th – 13th. Again this year two international teams, to be announced at a later date, will tour the MLB Draft League in mid-June playing games that will count in the overall standings.
Crosscutters home game times will again be 6:35pm Monday through Saturday and 4:05pm on Sundays with the exception of the Fourth of July, which features a special 1:05pm first pitch. Main gates open one hour prior to game time with the MVP Gate for season ticket holders & Loggers Landing ticket holders opening 90 minutes before first pitch.
The MLB Draft League, run by Major League Baseball, serves as a showcase during the season’s first half (June 2 – July 10) for top draft-eligible prospects leading up the mid-July MLB Draft. After a break for the draft, play resumes in the second half (July 14 – Aug. 31) with players who have exhausted their amateur eligibility or who have already played professionally. The first-place team from each half will meet in the MLB Draft League Championship Game on September 1.
Through the end of the 2026 season, 21 Draft League alumni have made their MLB debuts. In the league’s first six seasons over 280 players have been drafted by MLB clubs, including 49 members of the Williamsport Crosscutters and over 190 additional players from the league have signed professional contracts as undrafted free agents.
