TUCSON, Arizona — For the first time in its history, the Mexican Pacific League (Liga ARCO Mexicana del Pacífico, LAMP) will have a team based outside of Mexico.
Mayos de Navojoa, one of the league’s longtime franchises, will play all 34 of its home games for the 2025-2026 season in Tucson, Arizona at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium.
The move marking a major shift for professional Mexican baseball and for the city of Tucson, which will now host LAMP’s first U.S.-based club.
The Kino Sports Complex previously hosted LAMP teams for the league’s International Series plus the annual Mexican Baseball Fiesta, but this marks the first full season any team will be based in Arizona.
League officials say the move is a strategic one to grow LAMP’s presence and tap into the growing baseball fan base in Southern Arizona.
"There's a different feel to Mexican Baseball or Latin Baseball," World Baseball Network writer, Leif Skodnick said. "It's a lot louder, it's livelier and a lot more fun. Tucson fans that are willing to go out and embrace what's different and unique about the league are going to be pleasantly surprised."
The team plans to rename the team to better reflect their new home with intention of asking input of those in the Tucson community.
The Mexican Pacific League's season typically runs from mid-October to through the end of December. The team is expected to announce this season's game schedule along with its official Tucson-based identity in the coming weeks.
