The Liga Beisbol Profesional Colombiano’s 2025-26 season will start Nov. 28, and the league will play a 30-game regular season schedule with four teams.
In the 2024-25 season, the LBPC had five teams play during the regular season with four teams making the playoffs. Los Leones SA, who are based at Estadio Edgar Renteria in Barranquilla, Colombia, will sit out the 2025-26 season.
“Since March of this year, we have been working intensively in the commercial area, making visits and presentations to various companies in the public and private sector. Despite these efforts, they could not get the necessary support to guarantee our participation in the next tournament,” Los Leones said in a post on the team’s Facebook page. “We deeply appreciate everyone who has provided their support during this process and reiterate our commitment to sport and to our fans. We will work from now on to return in the 2026-2027 season, strengthened and with new opportunities.”
