How to Recover Your League's Data After LeagueLineup
LeagueLineup went offline August 31, 2026. The pages are gone, but most leagues' data survives somewhere else. Here is where to look, in what order, and what to do with what you find — whether you move to DugoutHQ, move somewhere else, or just want an archive of your league's history.
The checklist
Nine Things to Track Down
Work down this list. The first two matter most — everything below them is recoverable with enough effort, and those two are not.
Team rosters and player contact lists
The hardest thing to rebuild and the thing your season actually runs on. Check old registration emails, captains’ spreadsheets, and any CSV anyone downloaded over the years.
This season’s schedule
Dates, times, diamonds, and matchups. Announcement emails and team group chats usually hold most of it — and a fresh schedule can be generated in minutes anyway.
Standings and final results
Champions, records, and placements. Look for screenshots, Facebook posts, and captures of your old pages on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
Historical statistics
Career batting and pitching numbers going back years. If anyone ever exported them, that file is gold. Otherwise check the Wayback Machine — coverage is patchy, so look before assuming anything survived.
Registration records and payment history
Who paid, how much, and when. Your payment processor and bank still have these records even though the LeagueLineup pages are gone.
Photo albums
Board members’ phones, team Facebook pages, and old email attachments are where surviving copies usually live.
Sponsor logos and contact details
Ask your sponsors for their logo files directly. They have the originals, and it is a good reason to be in touch before renewal.
Your domain registrar login
If you bought a domain through LeagueLineup, find out where it is registered, confirm you control it, and check it has not lapsed. The domain can outlive the site.
Executive and board contact pages
Small thing, easy to forget, annoying to reassemble from group chats.
How to do it
The Order That Saves You Time
Start with the things only you can replace
Rosters and contact lists first, then historical statistics. Schedules and standings can be reconstructed from memory and old emails. A decade of batting averages cannot. If you only get an hour to do this, spend it here.
Search your own inboxes and drives first
Registration confirmations, schedule announcements, and any CSV or Excel file someone downloaded over the years. Ask every board member and captain to search their email and downloads for "leaguelineup". Save everything into one dated folder so you are not hunting for files in February.
Check the Internet Archive
The Wayback Machine at web.archive.org keeps snapshots of public web pages. Paste your old LeagueLineup address to see what it captured. Coverage is uneven — some leagues have dozens of snapshots, others none at all — so look before counting on it.
Collect photos from people, not the platform
Board members’ phones, team Facebook pages, and old email attachments are where surviving copies live. Tedious work — hand it to someone who is not doing the rosters.
Sort out your domain now, not later
If you bought a domain through the platform, find out which registrar holds the registration, confirm you can sign in, and check the expiry date and the admin email on file. If that email was a platform address, change it to one you control. A lapsed domain is the one loss on this list you genuinely cannot undo.
Put everything in spreadsheets
CSV or Excel is the format any new platform can load. Retype screenshots and archived tables into a sheet while the details are fresh — a screenshot is an archive, not something you can import.
Common Questions
When did LeagueLineup shut down?
August 31, 2026. The date moved once — it was originally set for May 31, 2026, and was extended. LeagueLineup’s pages now redirect away from the site.
Why did LeagueLineup shut down?
LeagueLineup was owned by PlayMetrics, which retired its older acquired platforms in 2026 — Goalline and Pointstreak were wound down too. LeagueLineup had been running since 1998.
Can anything still be downloaded from LeagueLineup?
No. The league pages no longer load and there is no support desk left to ask. Anything that survived lives elsewhere — in your files and inboxes, with your captains and sponsors, or on the Internet Archive.
Do I need to pick a new platform before I start?
No. Gathering what survived takes an evening or two and is worth doing while people still remember where things are. Choosing a platform for your league is a bigger call that most commissioners make closer to registration season.
What format should I save things in?
CSV or Excel wherever you can — every league platform worth moving to can import spreadsheets, including ours. PDFs and screenshots are fine as an archive but cannot be loaded into anything.
Can DugoutHQ help with this?
Yes, and we will help whether or not you end up switching to us. Send us your league details and we will come back with a specific list of what to look for, based on how your league was set up. If you would rather just use this guide and go somewhere else, that is genuinely fine.
Need somewhere to land?
DugoutHQ is free to run, with no subscription, and purpose-built for baseball and softball. Send us whatever you have and we will rebuild your league from it — or just take this guide and go wherever suits you.
