Women's Professional Fastpitch (WPF) is a professional women's fastpitch softball league in the United States. The new league began its promotional campaign in 2021[3] and launched its first official season in 2023.[4][5][6]
The league is unrelated to the defunct league that used the names National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) and Women's Pro Softball League (WPSL) along with Women's Professional Fastpitch. Not to be confused with a new competing league, the Association of Fastpitch Professionals.
History
Following the 2023 season, the Oklahoma City Spark announced their departure from the WPF in December 2023.[7] In April 2024, the Smash It Sports Vipers and USSSA Pride both announced they would not participate in the 2024 season.[8][9] Three new teams in Texas were added to replace the teams that left the league, the Coastal Bend Tidal Wave, Hub City Adelitas and Texas Monarchs.[10]
In April 2024, B4Real Enterprises was named the league's operations and management team.[11] On April 16, 2024, the WPF announced their intentions to expand internationally and add two teams from Mexico.[12]
