Florida Titanes to host Barceloneta Industriales in Puerto Rico Double-A League opener
The Puerto Rico Superior Double-A League 2025 will open on Sunday, March 2. The defending champions, Florida Titanes, will host Barceloneta Industriales at the Rafael Fello Marrero Stadium. The other teams will take the field on Friday, March 7.
The 86th Double-A championship will feature 45 teams, split between the North, Central, Southeast, East, South, Southwest, Northwest, and Metro Divisions. Each team will play 20 regular-season games, including inter-division games (North vs. Metro, Northeast vs. Southeast, Central vs. South, and East vs. Southeast).
The top four finishers of each division will advance to the postseason. A fifth-place finisher with a better record than a fourth-place finisher will earn the right to a one-game playoff to determine the postseason participant.
The Division semifinals will be the best-of-five series, while the finals will be the best-of-seven series.
The Division winners will compete in the Carnaval de Campeones (Carnival of Champions). Each team will play seven games in the round-robin. Then, the top four finishers will advance to the semifinals, and the winners will compete for the pennant. The semifinals and the final will be best-of-seven series.
The winner of the Superior Double-A League 2025 will participate in the Baseball Champions League Americas 2026.
The 2025 Superior Double-A league is dedicated to Leonardo Ivan Valentìn Gonzalez. The former Florida Titanes President will throw the Opening Game's ceremonial first pitch.
"We are excited to announce that Double-A baseball will reach half of the municipalities on the island," commented José Quiles, the President of the Puerto Rico Baseball Federation (FBPR). "I believe this will be the most competitive edition ever."
During the 2025 season presentation, FBPR awarded the best players of the 2024 season.
