Olean Oilers set to join PGCBL in 2026 as 16th member, leaving NYCBL
The Oilers will join the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League starting with the 2026 summer season, becoming the league’s 16th member and moving on from the NYCBL [1][2]. Bradner Stadium remains home, with the club framing the switch as a step into a deeper New York summer circuit and a return to many historic NY–Penn League cities and ballparks [1].League infrastructure is already in place: the PGCBL site lists an Oilers team page and has the 2026 schedule framework live as the circuit builds out dates and opponents [3][4]. For fans in Olean, it means fresh regional rivalries and plenty of midsummer nights at Bradner as the Oilers jump into the PGCBL slate [1][4].
