Season schedule

edit

The 16 teams in the league are split evenly between two divisions, Mountain and Pacific.

For the 2022 season, the league announced three expansion franchises: the Santa Rosa Scuba Divers, Austin Weirdos, and Weimar Hormigas. After competing in 2021, Salina was not included as a member club in 2022.[2]

The season was played with a 50-game schedule with opening day in the Pacific Division on May 26, and opening day in the Mountain Division on June 1. The Regular season in both divisions concluded on July 31.

The Pecos League remains split into Mountain Division and Pacific Division. The Mountain and Pacific Divisions teams are aligned in four-team North and South Divisions. The biggest offseason alignment move is two-time defending Pecos League Champion Tucson Saguaros' move from the Mountain Division to the Pacific Division.

The top team in each four-team division and two teams that are non-division winners will qualify for the Playoffs. The Playoffs will consist of three rounds, ending with the Champion of the Mountain Division facing the winner of the Pacific Division.[3]
