2026 Chiefs Challenge June 26-28
Lions Park in Simcoe, Ontario is host to Chiefs Challenge
The 2026 Chief Challenge is locked in for June 26th–28th in Simcoe Ontario, and this year’s event is shaping up to be the most electric edition since the tournament began in 2019. We are expanding the field to 12 teams, marking our largest and most competitive lineup ever.
We’re thrilled to announce that several top-10 ISC powerhouse teams are already confirmed, including:
- Bear Creek Express
- North East Drillers
- Toronto Batmen
- Bear Creek Gremlins
…with more elite teams to be announced.
This year, Softball Premier will once again be onsite, delivering high-quality coverage of the entire tournament. In addition, Eastlink Television will be broadcasting games from one of the diamonds, bringing the Chief Challenge to living rooms across the region and showcasing the incredible talent competing in this event.
To support the expanded 12-team format, we will be incorporating a third field, allowing for more games, more action, and more energy throughout the weekend. This addition will significantly increase the number of athletes, families, and fans around the ballpark—creating an atmosphere and environment like no other in men’s fastpitch.
With world-class teams, professional media coverage, and an unmatched tournament experience, the 2026 Chiefs Challenge is one you won’t want to miss.
Join us June 26–28, 2026 for a weekend of top-tier fastpitch, electric crowds, and unforgettable moments.
