The 2026 AUSL All-Star Cup kicks off August 8th at Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont, Illinois, with the pro softball action scheduled through August 30th. The most anticipated event on the AUSL calendar brings together 45 of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League's top players for one month of show-stopping competition.
And this year, all six teams are represented in the tournament.
What to Expect at the 2026 AUSL All-Star Cup
The reigning champion Utah Talons, Chicago Bandits, and Carolina Blaze each landed nine selections while Oklahoma City claimed eight. Portland and Texas subsequently rounded out the field with six players apiece.
Fans voted in top names like Karlyn Pickens, Jordan Woolery, Megan Grant, Bri Ellis, Alyssa Brito, Rylie Boone, and Reese Atwood. Those standouts join award-winners from the 2026 Athletes Unlimited Softball League season. Pitcher of the Year Montana Fouts, Hitter of the Year Sami Williams, home run leader Maya Brady, and Championship MVP Jadelyn Allchin headline the 45-player field.
However, there's a twist within the All-Star Cup bracket. The tournament redrafts teams after every series, with the top three point-scorers earning captain status. Players earn points for wins, standout plays, and MVP votes, with a running leaderboard determining the individual champion.
