Though the 2025 Athletes Unlimited Softball season has come to a close, fans still have the All-Star Cup to look forward to.
At the end of a thrilling debut year, the AUSL crowned the Talons as their inaugural champions after they defeated the Bandits 2-0 in the championship series. Now the league's top talents will go head-to-head in a month-long individual skills tournament.
Through four weeks and 21 games, 60 elite players will take the field. Fans should be on the lookout for stars like Hitter of the Year Erin Coffel, Pitcher of the Year Georgina Corrick and Rookie of the Year Ana Gold.
Who will be named the overall individual champion?
Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 AUSL All-Star Cup, including TV channel and streaming options for the skills tournament.
How to watch AUSL All-Star Cup 2025
All 21 games of the 2025 AUSL All-Star Cup will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPNU.
Cord-cutters can also stream the action with Fubo and ESPN+.
AUSL All-Star Cup format
The All-Star Cup will be in a team format with points going to individual players. All 60 players will be drafted onto four teams, but teams will be redrafted with each series to allow for different head-to-head player combinations.
As the tournament progresses, a leaderboard will keep track of each player's individual score. The leaderboard will be changing constantly as athletes make positive plays.
Athletes can earn points in three ways:
- Winning an inning or game.
- Making a positive play on the field.
- Pitchers may lose points for giving up an earned run.
- Being voted one of the top three MVP's of a game by players and fans.
At the beginning of each series, the top four players on the leaderboard will serve as captains, which means they can draft their team and then have ultimate authority over lineups, in-game decisions and practice plans.
At the end of the season, the athlete who sits atop the overall leaderboard will be named champion.
