The Arizona Fall League has been a showcase for top prospects for quite a number of years. Among others, Kris Bryant, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber have played there recently.
The league has been run from around the second week of October until the weekend before Thanksgiving.
That’s going to change, starting this fall. Instead of October, this year the AFL’s schedule will now start in mid-September, with this season launching on Tuesday, September 17 and ending on Saturday, October 26. The annual “Fall Stars Game” will be held on Saturday, October 12 and the AFL Championship Game will be scheduled for Sunday, October 27.
