Pro Sports Teams

Pro Sports in the Pensacola Area

Pensacola may not have an NFL franchise, but what it does have is something better: intimate, affordable professional sports with real community roots. Two home teams call the Gulf Coast home — and for buyers relocating from major metros, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.

Pensacola Blue Wahoos — Double-A Baseball

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos are the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, playing in the Southern League. Southern League champions in their inaugural 2012 season, with two more titles in 2017 and 2018. Home games at Admiral Fetterman Field at Blue Wahoos Stadium — a 5,038-seat waterfront ballpark along Pensacola Bay, consistently rated one of the best Double-A venues in the country. Games run April through September.
