Dispatches from inside the Uganda National Baseball League — match coverage, club profiles, and the stories the rest of the baseball internet hasn't found yet. Reported from the ground, published to the world.
Drop 01 · The Season Is Underway
The 2026 Uganda National Baseball League opened August 1 at Gayaza. Two episodes are out, the Northern League has played its inaugural weekend in Lira, and the table is starting to mean something. Seven clubs in the Central League, four in the Northern, and a national championship October 29 – November 1 at Uganda–Japan Friendship Stadium, Gayaza. The Field covers all of it.
Episode 1 · International Club Friendlies
The series opens with the two international club friendlies played July 21 — Cameroon against Gayaza BC, and Cameroon against Panyadoli Self Help. How a Ugandan club side handles a foreign opponent, why the Dodgers name keeps turning up in Kampala, and how HELIOS became this league's international home.
