The first Finnish Softball League season has now come to an end! This season marked a major milestone for Finnish softball, with official competition rules, registered teams, umpires, and formal match scoring in place in all matches.
The Finnish Softball League is a women’s fastpitch softball league established in 2026 by Anna Chodurova, Softball Finland’s National Team Program Lead & Head Coach, and Erica Martin of the Finnish Baseball and Softball Federation.
The inaugural season featured two clubs: Tampere Tigers and Helsinki Sandstorm, part of Baseball-Puumat. We recognize both clubs as pioneers of the Finnish Softball League. 👏
Final standings:
🥇 Tampere Tigers (4 wins)
🥈 Helsinki Sandstorm (3 wins)
We encourage more baseball clubs to take the step of starting a softball team and joining the league next year. We look forward to seeing the Finnish Softball League grow, and with it, softball in Finland! 🥎🇫🇮
