The Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England will begin play in summer 2011 with four to six teams in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Teams in Martha’s Vineyard and Nashua, N.H., already have been announced, and the location of the other clubs will be unveiled in the coming weeks. Much like the [[Cape Cod Baseball League and it's New England Rival the [[New England Collegiate Baseball League}]. The ownership group of the Brockton Rox (Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball) and the Lowell Spinners (Single A affiliate Boston Red Sox) are founding members of the FCBL.

All players in the league will be on college baseball rosters during the spring 2011 season. Futures League rules mandate that 13 players on each club’s 26-man roster hail from New England or play at a New England-based college. The league will use wood bats and play a 44-game regular-season schedule, running from early June through early August.

Longtime professional baseball executive Chris Hall was named the league commissioner. Hall previously had served as executive Vice President and General Manager of the Nashua Pride Professional Baseball Club in the independent Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball (Can-Am League).
