The Western Major Baseball League will already be changing its name next season and now the number of games played in the league will be expanding as well.

The 2019 season will see the WMBL expand from 48 games this season to 56 next season.

The playoffs will also go from best-of-five series to best-of-three to accommodate the change.

The league had previously announced that it would be changing its name to the Western Canadian Baseball League next season.
