The California Baseball League (CBL) is a professional baseball league and the highest level of organized baseball in New California. It is one of California's big five major leagues, comprising 20 teams divided equally between the Northern Division and Southern Division. The CBL carried over four teams from Major League Baseball (MLB), as well as promoting one from Minor League Baseball (MiLB), the Sacramento River Cats.
The CBL was formed in 2032 shortly after New California became an independent nation, splitting off from MLB and absorbing the four clubs already in California. In need of a team in Sacramento, the River Cats were subsequently promoted to major status. Despite this, the CBL was essentially defunct for three years, until nine more teams were founded in 2035 and began operations. 2038 saw the addition of two new teams, as did 2040 and 2042. The newest teams are the San Diego Sluggers and Eureka Lakers.
Each team plays 126 games per season, with Opening Day traditionally held around the middle of May. The season ends near the beginning of October, after which ten teams advance to the four-round California Tournament, culminating with the California Series, a best-of-seven between the champions of each division. The Dodgers and Astronomers have won the most titles with three. The reigning champions are the San Bernardino Rail Riders, who defeated the Astronomers in 2047.
