Step up to the plate — Backyard Baseball 2001 has officially launched on Steam, iOS and Andoid!

This fan-favorite classic brings back all of the classic Backyard kids plus 28 of the original 31 pros, including Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken Jr., Kenny Lofton, and more. Build your dream squad and hit the field with all the neighborhood legends you remember.

Choose from three ways to play:

  • Random Pick-up — Let the computer pick your team and dive right in for instant backyard action.

  • Single Game — Draft your team from a random pool of players and challenge the computer in a one-off game.

  • Season Mode — Pick your home field, create and manage your team through a 14-game series, and fight your way to the BBL playoffs. Make it all the way to the Super Entire Nation Tournament and Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series for ultimate backyard bragging rights!

With new power-ups, classic fields, and all the charm and chaos you love, Backyard Baseball 2001 is the perfect way to relive those summer afternoons — or create new memories from scratch.

Play now and bring the magic of the backyard back to life.
Don’t forget to wishlist and share — the backyard is waiting.
