The Tokyo Big6 Baseball League (東京六大学野球連盟) is an intercollegiate baseball league that features six prominent universities in the Tokyo area. The league consists of universities of Waseda, Keio, Hosei, Meiji, Rikkyo and Tokyo. Tokyo University is the only public school in the league. Before the inception of the professional baseball league, the Tokyo Big6 League was widely considered the highest level of baseball in Japan and the most popular sports in early 1900s.
The college baseball league was officially established in 1925 while Japans professional baseball league started in 1936.
All the leagues games are played at Meiji Jingu Stadium, Tokyo. Games are known to be rowdy and celebratory with male and female cheerleaders and noisy bands working together. There are two tournaments a year in the spring and autumn.
The series between Waseda and Keio known as Sokei-sen (早慶戦 = Waseda-Keio Battle) attract the most attention. The Waseda-Keio rivalry beginning in 1903 actually predates the establishment of the college baseball league. The series are always played in the last week of the season in memory of this.
