Official Intercounty Baseball League News Release

The Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) is set to launch its 106th season in 2025.  

The season opens with two games on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, 2025, with the London Majors visiting Arnold Anderson to face the Brantford Red Sox while the Kitchener Panthers will face the Toronto Maple Leafs at Dominico Field at Christie Pits. Both games feature a 2 p.m. start time.

Each team will play a 42-game unbalanced schedule, where teams will play against each other either five or six times, differing from the even matchups of the 2024 season. The league has strategically arranged its games to occur from Thursday to Monday, including holiday Mondays, thereby significantly reducing the number of games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
