TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – The Tucson Baseball Team announced that its season-opening series, which was set for Oct. 16-19, has been postponed due to immigration issues.
The team did not say when it would play the series, or if the ongoing issues would impact the other games set to be played in Mexico.

In May 2025, the ARCO Mexican Pacific League announced that the Mayos franchise would play at home in Tucson this season.
The team, which was supposed to be the first to play outside of Mexico, was rebranded as the Tucson Baseball Team until a naming contest can be held.
The team made the postponement announcement in a Facebook post on Friday.
“This decision has been extremely difficult for our entire organization,” the team wrote. “We share the same excitement and passion as all of you in seeing our team proudly represent Tucson on the field. However, the current circumstances require us to prioritize full compliance with all necessary legal and regulatory procedures before resuming our sporting operations in the United States.”
Fans who purchased tickets for the opener, including season ticket holders, will be able to get a refund. Information on that process should be released soon.
“The Tucson Baseball Team reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the city of Tucson and Pima County and to all supporters who have stood by this project since its inception. We are confident that this process will make our organization stronger and allow us to return to the field with greater determination, passion, and community spirit.”
