The National Professional Baseball League (León, 15. Januar 2022 Ergebnis”>LBPN) is the professional baseball league of Nicaragua. The league is made up of five teams with a regular 30-game seasonal schedule running from November to December. Followed by a four-team round robin, with the top two teams advancing to the best of seven league series.

Inaugurated on March 30, 1956, at the Estadio Nacional, the first match was between the teams of San Fernando and Bóer. The Nicaraguan public’s enthusiasm for baseball grew as foreign professional teams and foreign players came to play in their country. Due to economic difficulties, the championship had to close in 1967. The teams of Bóer and León were the most successful teams in those years with three championships each.

The professional league was re-established in 2004. Since then, Bóer has led the league in the leagues with five.
