About the league
The KBO Futures League is a professional baseball league in South Korea, serving as the secondary league to the Korea Professional Baseball (KBO) League. Established in 1990, it provides a developmental platform for players, coaches, and umpires. Top teams in the league include affiliates of KBO teams such as the Samsung Lions, LG Twins, and Kia Tigers. The competition format consists of a regular season, with teams playing a series of games against each other, followed by a playoff tournament to determine the champion. Notable achievements include the league's role in nurturing talented players who eventually join the KBO League. The KBO Futures League has a dedicated audience among Korean baseball fans, with games often streamed online and broadcast on local television channels. As a developmental league, its primary focus is on player development and preparation for the top-tier KBO League, rather than commercial success.
