Major League Wiffle Ball (MLW) is a wiffle ball league based out of Brighton, Michigan. MLW operates on YouTube or on television or other social media. MLW Wiffle Ball consists of eight teams, that are divided equally between the National League and the American League. All eight teams play their games at The Meadows, which is located in the Huron Clinton Metropark in Brighton.

The league was founded in 2009 in Brighton, Michigan by brothers Kyle, Brendan, and Daniel Schultz and their neighbors Tommy and Rachel Coughlin. They played their games originally at the Schultz's house in their front yard and called the field Cultz Field, a combination of the two families' last names.[1][2]
