Hey Backyard Soccer ’98 fans — it’s time to swap goals for home runs! Backyard Baseball 2001 has officially launched on Steam, iOS, and Android, bringing your favorite neighborhood kids (and iconic pros) to the baseball diamond.

Many of the backyard legends you know from the soccer field — like Pablo Sanchez, Achmed Khan, Kiesha Phillips, and more — are back and ready to take a swing at baseball glory.

Build your ultimate lineup from 28 of the original 31 pro superstars, including Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken Jr., and fan favorite Kenny Lofton.

Choose your game mode:

Random Pick-up — Jump straight into a quick backyard match with randomly chosen teams.
Single Game — Draft your squad from a random character pool and challenge the computer.
Season Mode — Pick your home field, manage your team through a 14-game season, battle through the BBL playoffs, and fight to become champions in the Super Entire Nation Tournament and Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series!

Packed with fun power-ups, classic fields, and the same backyard charm you loved in Soccer ’98, Backyard Baseball 2001 is the perfect way to keep the backyard adventures going all year long.

Play now and continue your backyard legacy!
Don’t forget to wishlist and spread the word — the backyard is calling.
