Copenhagen claimed the top record in the European Second League’s Western Conference at 100-62, which was the first playoff berth for the once proud Corsairs since joining E2L in 2021. Paris (97-65) was second for back-to-back round robin trips.

Toulouse (92-70) and Oslo (91-71) earned the other playoff spots. It was the first for the Toads since falling back to E2L for 2025. For the Octopi, this was only their second E2L season. The first teams out were Liverpool (88-74), Cardiff (84-78), and Reykjavik (83-79). Belfast notably dropped to 75-87 after winning 96 games in 2028.

In the Double Round Robin, Paris was the top team at 4-2, sending the French capital back to the European Baseball Federation Elite Tier after a five-year E2L stint. Copenhagen and Oslo tied at 3-3 and Toulouse was 2-4. The Corsairs had the tiebreaker over the Octopi to escape E2L after nine years. In the Western Conference Championship, Copenhagen defeated Paris 4-2.

Three teams were within one game of first in the Eastern Conference. Cluj-Napoca and Thessaloniki tied for the top spot at 99-63 with Kyiv third at 98-64. The Tritons officially took first place, their first playoff berth since returning to E2L in 2026. It was back-to-back playoff appearances for the Paladins.

The Kings had been on a rollercoaster ride with a promotion in 2025, EBF playoff spot in 2026, then relegation for 2027. The fourth and final playoff spot was Belgrade at 93-69, who fended off Sarajevo (91-71) and Malta (87-75). The Bruisers were in their second E2L season.

Cluj-Napoca was the best in the round robin at 4-2, while Belgrade and Kyiv tied at 3-3 and Thessaloniki was 2-4. The Paladins guaranteed promotion for the third time, ending a six-year E2L stint. The tiebreaker sent the Kings forward and thwarted the Bruisers, continuing Kyiv’s bouncing back and forth. Cluj-Napoca prevailed 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Championship. In the Second League Championship, Copenhagen claimed a seven-game classic against the Paladins.

Other notes: Stuttgart’s Alexander Hamann became the first five-time Pitcher of the Year winner in E2L. Cluj-Napoca’s Bogdan Zientara tied the E2L pitching wins record with 22.

2029 was the pilot season for European Tier Three, although promotion/relegation wouldn’t start until 2030 for the new teams. Ostrava led the standings in the debut season at 101-61, advancing to the championship along with 93-69 Cyprus. Gdansk and Montenegro were next at 91-71. The Torpedoes beat the Crush 4-1 to claim the inaugural Third League Championship.
