You can now plan your tickets to see some of baseball’s top prospects in the Arizona Fall League this October and November.

The six-week schedule released on Monday includes Autograph Thursdays, giveaways on Freebie Fridays and Saturday double-headers and triple-headers at stadiums across the Valley and state.

The six-team Arizona Fall League features many top prospects from all 30 MLB, some of whom may break into the majors as early as next season. Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle won the 2025 Arizona Fall League MVP and this season was an MLB All-Star and is now the front-runner for American League Rookie of the Year.

Entering its 34th season, the Fall League has produced hundreds of big-league All-Stars, more than 20 MVPs, dozens of Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Award winners and more.

This year, the Fall League starts the same weekend as the MLB Division Series begin: on Saturday, Oct. 3. The championship game will be held at Peoria Sports Complex on Saturday, Nov. 14.

All six teams make the playoffs in the Fall League. The top two seeds earn a bye straight to the semifinals. The semifinals, on Thursday, Nov. 12 at Sloan Park in Mesa, will feature matchups of the 3-seed versus the 6-seed and the 4-seed versus the 5-seed. The winners will advance to play the top two seeds in the semifinals on Friday, Nov. 13 at Peoria Sports Complex.

The Diamondbacks’ and Rockies’ Salt River Fields in Scottsdale will host the league’s all-star weekend, with the Home Run Derby on Saturday, Nov. 7 and the Fall Stars Game on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Other special events on the league’s calendar include two Saturday triple-headers, the first at Goodyear Ballpark on Saturday, Oct. 17 and the second at Camelback Ranch-Glendale in Phoenix on Saturday, Oct. 24. Four of the six teams will take the show on the road on Saturday, Oct. 10 for a double-header at King Sports Complex in Tucson.

There will also be two Family Fun Days, one on Sunday, Oct. 11 for a single game at Surprise Stadium, and one on Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31 for all three games across the Valley that day.
