While the inaugural season of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) will conclude over July 26-28 with the Bandits and Talons in a race for the championship title, it won’t be the last of professional ball this summer. 

60 elite players will continue playing and face off in the AUSL All-Star Cup August 2-31. This 21-game high-stakes showdown will create an individual champion instead of a team, embodying the previous Athletes Unlimited format. New teams will be drafted by the top four players on the leaderboard throughout four series of games. 

Several of AUSL’s stars from the season will continue showing their power in hopes of walking away as winners of the All-Star Cup. Games will be played in Rosemont, Ill., Raleigh, N.C., and at the Little League Softball World Series in Greenville, N.C.

“Following the incredible success of the inaugural season of the AUSL, the AUSL All-Star Cup provides yet another opportunity for the world’s best softball players to compete, this time for an individual championship,” said Kim Ng, Commissioner of the AUSL, in the press release. “We are excited for our new fans of the Bandits, Blaze, Talons and Volts to see their favorite players compete in this unique format.”
