Hewitt-Trussville won the 2026 ASHAA 7A State Championship after defeating the Thompson High School Warriors 2-1 in Oxford on May 21, finishing the season with a 49-10-1 record and ranked No. 50 in the country by MaxPreps.

The PSL launched on Dec. 10, 2025, and opened its first season on June 12, 2026, right after the University of Texas Longhorns were crowned the NCAA D1 national champions. The six competing teams are Atlanta Smoke, KC Diamonds, Florida Vibe, Florida Breeze, Chattanooga Chill, and New York Rise. After all teams finish the regular season consisting of up to 24 games, the top three in the standings will qualify for the four-game finale.

“We are excited to bring the PSL Championship to the Birmingham region and showcase one of the country’s great softball communities,” Jeremy McDowell, founder and owner within the PSL and President of the Kansas City Diamonds said in a press release. As we built the league, we wanted our championship to be more than just games. We wanted it to be a destination event that celebrates our athletes, our fans, and the continued growth of professional softball. Birmingham provides the perfect stage for that vision.”
