The 2026 fastball season is in the past, but behind the scenes, planning for next summer is already well underway!
After an awesome first year of the Northwestern Invitational Fastball Championship, we’re excited to confirm that the tournament will be back in Yellowknife from July 23–25, 2027.
Last summer brought some great teams to town, some really good fastball, a minor ball clinic by STK Fastball, and an incredible response from the Yellowknife community. We learned a lot from year one, and our goal is to build on that and make the 2027 tournament even better.
A couple of big additions for next year!
🏆 $10,000 grand prize
🌎 2 berths to the 2028 ISC World Tournament
We’re already starting conversations with teams for next summer and are looking forward to putting together another strong field in Yellowknife.
If your team is interested in making the trip North in 2027, feel free to reach out to the Yellowknife Merchants for more information.
And while the season may be coming to an end, we’re definitely not going quiet for the winter. We’ve got a few other big things in the works for the Merchants, so stay tuned over the next few months!
Thanks again to everyone who helped make the first NIFC such a memorable weekend. We can’t wait to do it again!
📅 July 23–25, 2027
📍 Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
