Baseball United, the first professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent, has announced the official schedule for its debut season.

The season will run from November 14 to December 14, with all games held at Baseball United Ballpark in Dubai.

It will feature the league's four founding franchises, the Mumbai Cobras, Karachi Monarchs, Arabia Wolves and Mid East Falcons.

The teams will each play nine regular season games - facing each other three times each - followed by a best of three United Series beginning December 12 to determine the league champion.

Overall, 21 games will be played over 30 days.

The season kicks off with the historic Subcontinent Series, where the Mumbai Cobras will face the Karachi Monarchs from November 14-16, marking the first-ever Indian vs Pakistani franchises' baseball matchup.

Full rosters for the season will be announced later this spring. The league is also set to reveal its broadcast partners this summer, aiming for global coverage.

With Major League Baseball (MLB) stars like Robinson Cano, Andrelton Simmons and Pablo Sandoval joining the league, Baseball United’s debut season promises to make history in the region.
