2023 Arizona Fall League Begins Play Tomorrow
The 2023 Arizona Fall League (AFL) season begins tomorrow (Monday 10/2).
ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE (AFL):
The Arizona Fall League (AFL) is an MLB developmental league (approximately equivalent to "AA") that operates in the Phoenix metropolitan area for six weeks after the MLB-affiliated minor leagues have concluded their seasons. It was founded in 1992, the "brain-child" of long-time MLB executive Roland Hemond. The AFL operated continuously for 27 seasons, until the 2020 season was canceled due to the CoViD-19 pandemic. Games are played in MLB Spring Training stadiums.
2023 AFL Opening Day will be on Monday, October 2nd, and the AFL regular season will conclude on Thursday, November 9th.
