The Frontier League (French: Ligue Frontière) is a professional baseball league based in the East North Central and Mid-Atlantic United States, and Central Canada. It operates as one of four Major League Baseball (MLB) Partner Leagues in the American independent baseball league system. Founded in 1993, the Frontier League is the oldest extant independent baseball league in North America to have never organized under the Minor League Baseball system.
The league is contested by sixteen teams, thirteen from the United States and three from Canada, who are evenly divided into two conferences. After playing a regular season of matches against intra- and inter-conference opponents, the best three teams in each conference face off in a postseason tournament that determines the champion.
23 distinct franchises had competed in the league. Its largest period of growth followed in 2020–21, when six teams from the ceased Can–Am and New York–Penn leagues joined alongside an expansion franchise. The Evansville Otters, the only one of the original eight franchises still playing today, is the longest tenured team in the league, while the Schaumburg Boomers have won the most championships (4). The current champions are the Québec Capitales.
