The Curaçao Professional Baseball League (CPB; Papiamento: Kampionato Beisbòl Profeshonal Kòrsou), is a professional baseball circuit in Curaçao. It debuted in 2023 as the highest level of professional baseball in the country, supplanting the summer-time AA League.[1] Like the AA League, CPB is organized by the Curaçao Baseball Federation (FEBEKO).

The inaugural edition of the tournament took place between December 3 to December 10, 2023, at Tio Daou Ballpark in Willemstad.[2][3] Curaçao Suns won the title, and will represent the country at the 2024 Caribbean Series.[4][3][5] The league will also participate in the 2024 Intercontinental Series.[6][7]
