American Legion Baseball Season Begins Across Wyoming Diamonds

Wyoming American Legion Baseball is back! The 2026 season opens this week with 10 teams on the diamond. Gillette opens with games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Those dates are adjusted from their original schedule. Cheyenne will host a round-robin event on Saturday and Sunday, as the Sixers and Hawks take on Laramie and Rock Springs. The Rangers and Stallions will face each other once, as well.

WYOPREPS WEEK 1 LEGION BASEBALL SCHEDULE 2026

Sheridan heads to Rapid City, as the Troopers and Jets face teams from Post 22 and Post 320. The Rider and Rustlers will host Miles City, Montana, for games on Sunday.

The defending champions are the Gillette Riders and Lovell Mustangs, but Wyoming Legion Baseball has a different look in 2026. Gone are the Double-A and Single-A levels. There is now one Senior Legion level with 23 teams and two conferences. WyoPreps will have a feature on the changes in a separate story.

Game schedules are subject to change. If you have an update or see a game missing, let WyoPreps know by emailing david@wyopreps.com.
