The 2026 Women’s Premier Softball League (LPSF by its initials in Spanish) Crown Series will begin this Thursday when the Valencianas of Juncos host the Prodigiosas of Sabana Grande.
The first game of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Felipe Díaz Park in Juncos.
The Valencianas reached the final after eliminating the Leonas of Ponce, while the Prodigiosas knocked out the Bravas of Cidra.
Juncos will be playing in its first championship series since 2022 and will seek the second title in its history, after winning it all in 2008.
Sabana Grande will attempt to claim its first crown after finishing as runner-up in 2023.
The first two games will be held in Juncos on Thursday and Friday, both at 7 p.m.
Action will then shift to Quintín Hernández Park in Sabana Grande for the third game on Saturday at 7 p.m., and the fourth game on Sunday at 5 p.m.
If additional games are required, the series will continue from July 23 to July 25.
Administrative rules for the final were established during a meeting between team owners Iván Rivera Nazario (Valencianas) and Alex Ramos Ruiz (Prodigiosas), alongside LPSF Director General Jeanc Rodríguez Martínez.
Among the agreements reached, it was stipulated that each game becomes official once the regulation seven innings are completed, unless it ends via the mercy rule.
Additionally, the league will assign three umpires for each game. In the event of a suspension before four innings are completed, the game will be rescheduled for the following day at the same venue, and the schedule will shift by one day.
If the interruption occurs after four completed innings, the game will resume the following day at the venue of the next scheduled game.
Games will not be rescheduled for Mondays or Tuesdays.
“We look forward to a great series and appreciate everyone’s cooperation in ensuring the Crown Series is held with the highest level of organization, professionalism, and respect,” Rodríguez Martínez said in a written statement.
All games will be broadcast live on YouTube.
