The '''Florida Complex League''' ('''FCL''') is a rookie-level [[Minor League Baseball]] league that operates in Florida, United States. Before 2021, it was known as the '''Gulf Coast League''' ('''GCL'''). Together with the [[Arizona Complex League]] (ACL), it forms the lowest rung on the North American minor-league ladder.

FCL teams play at the minor league spring training complexes of their parent [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) clubs and are owned by those parent clubs. Admission is not charged to FCL games, and no concessions are sold. Every [[Grapefruit League]] team fields at least one team in the league. Night games are commonly played in the spring training stadium, although games may also be played at the team's practice fields.

As of the 2021 season, there is no league limit to how many players can be on an active roster, but no team can have more than three players with four or more years of minor-league experience.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://registration.mlbpa.org/pdf/MajorLeagueRules.pdf |title=The Official Professional Baseball Rules Book |publisher=Office of the Commissioner of Baseball |location=New York City |date=2021 |via=mlbpa.org |pages=10–11, 100 |accessdate=June 26, 2021 |archive-date=November 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129120209/https://registration.mlbpa.org/pdf/MajorLeagueRules.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> Major-league players on rehabilitation assignments may also appear in the league.

== History ==
Complex-based baseball leagues, which played before sparse crowds and often scheduled morning games to avoid the summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms, were adopted after the drastic shrinking of minor league baseball during the 1950s and 1960s. MLB teams needed an entry level to professional baseball for 18- and 19-year-old players graduating from high schools or signed from Latin America. They replaced Class C and Class D leagues as the lowest rung on the minor league ladder.

The current league was founded in 1964 as the [[Sarasota Rookie League]] (SRL) with four teams playing in [[Sarasota]]. It was originally intended to be the [[Gulf Coast of the United States|Gulf Coast]] division of a statewide rookie league, with the eastern division [[Cocoa Rookie League]] based in [[Cocoa, Florida|Cocoa]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZxEOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5162,3675845&dq=sarasota+rookie+league|title=Rookie League Should Aid Sarasota Economy|date=July 7, 1964|first=Bob|last=Bender|work=[[St. Petersburg Times]]|access-date=May 6, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jBAOAAAAIBAJ&pg=5346,3627686&dq=sarasota+rookie+league|title=Special Ceremonies Mark League Opening|date=June 27, 1964|work=[[St. Petersburg Times]]|access-date=May 6, 2016}}</ref> However, the eastern and western teams never played each other. The SRL's four teams consisted of squads sponsored by the [[Chicago White Sox]], [[History of the Atlanta Braves|Milwaukee Braves]], [[New York Yankees]], and [[St. Louis Cardinals]]. The [[Gulf Coast Braves|SRL Braves]], managed by [[Paul Snyder (baseball)|Paul Snyder]], future Atlanta [[farm system]] director, won the championship with a 36–23 record.

=== Gulf Coast League ===
The league adopted Gulf Coast League (GCL) naming for the 1966 season. It expanded to Florida's east coast in the 1990s.

Historically, three separate leagues also used the Gulf Coast League name: a 1907–1908 [[Class D (baseball)|Class D]] league, a 1926 Class D league and a 1950–1953 [[Class C (baseball)|Class C]] (1950) and [[Class B (baseball)|Class B]] League. 

The 1907 founding members were the [[Alexandria White Sox]], [[Lafayette Browns]], [[Lake Charles Creoles]], [[Monroe Municipals]], [[Opelousas Indians]] and [[Orange Hoo-Hoos]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?code=GULF&class=D|title=Gulf Coast League (D) Encyclopedia and History|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> 

The 1926 Gulf Coast League was a four-team [[Class D (baseball)|Class D]] level league. The league featured the [[Beeville Bees]]/[[Laredo Oilers]] (59–41), [[Corpus Christi Seahawks]] (43–58), [[Kingsville Jerseys]]/[[McAllen Palms]]/[[Mission Grapefruiters]] (46–52) and [[Victoria Rosebuds]]/[[Edinburg Bobcats]] (51–48) teams.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/l-GULF2/y-1926|title=1926 Gulf Coast League (GCL) Minor League Baseball on StatsCrew.com|website=www.statscrew.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?id=18f59c40|title=1926 Gulf Coast League|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>

The 1950–1953 version of the Gulf Coast League featured the [[Brownsville Charros]], [[Corpus Christi Aces]], [[Galveston White Caps]], [[Harlingen Capitals]], [[Lake Charles Lakers]], [[Laredo Apaches]], [[Port Arthur Seahawks]] and [[Texas City Texans]]. The [[Crowley Millers]], [[Jacksonville Jax]], [[Lufkin Angels|Lufkin]]/[[Leesville Angels]] played in the league in 1950. All three versions of the league operated around the Gulf coasts of [[Texas]] and [[Louisiana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/league.cgi?code=GULF&class=C|title=Gulf Coast League Encyclopedia and History|work=[[Baseball Reference]]|access-date=February 26, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?code=GULF&class=B|title=Gulf Coast League (B) Encyclopedia and History|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?code=GULF&class=C|title=Gulf Coast League (C) Encyclopedia and History|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>

On June 21, 2016, the GCL hired [[Jen Pawol]], the first female umpire in Minor League Baseball since 2007, and the first in the GCL since 1978.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Rivera|first1=Joe|title=Minor League Baseball hires first female umpire since 2007|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/news/women-in-sports-minor-league-baseball-female-umpire-jen-pawol/12x43qvyghh8b1e03m7uaza2mr|website=Sporting News|access-date=June 22, 2016}}</ref>  In 2017, the GCL hired another woman umpire, Emma Charlesworth-Seiler.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/espnw/features/article/19956500/another-crack-major-league-baseball-glass-ceiling|title = Another crack in Major League Baseball's glass ceiling|date = July 11, 2017}}</ref>

=== Florida Complex League ===
Prior to the 2021 season, in continuation of MLB's reorganization of the minor leagues, the two US-based complex leagues were renamed, with the Gulf Coast League becoming the Florida Complex League (FCL).

The league plays a 52- to 56-game season that traditionally began in mid-June and concluded in late August. Following the relocation of the Atlanta Braves spring training complex in 2019, teams in the league were divided into three divisions: {{Em|East}}, {{Em|North}}, and {{Em|South}} (down from four in 2018). Beginning with the 2024 season, both the Arizona Complex League and Florida Complex League seasons commence in early May and conclude in late July.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cooper |first1=J.J. |title=Arizona, Florida Complex League Schedules Changing For 2024 |url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/arizona-florida-complex-league-schedules-changing-for-2024/ |publisher=Baseball America |date=February 13, 2024}}</ref> 

As of 2022, four teams—three division winners and one wild card team—qualify for the playoffs seeded by winning percentage regardless of division standing, with seeds 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3 playing in a single-game semi-final. A best-of-three series between the two semi-final winners follows to determine the league champion.<ref>{{cite web |title=MiLB Playoff Procedures |url=https://www.milb.com/events/playoffs/procedures |website=MiLB.com |access-date=September 28, 2022}}</ref>

== Current teams ==
Teams in the league are not referred to by their home city, but simply by their parent club's name. A prefix of FCL (previously GCL) is typically used to differentiate the team from its parent club and other farm teams with the same nickname. At times, a parent club has fielded two teams in the league at the same time, in which case a suffix has been added to each of those teams' names, such as a direction (e.g. East, West) or a color (e.g. Blue, Orange). Some teams share stadiums with their club's [[Single-A]] affiliate in the [[Florida State League]]. Note that Single-A teams ''do'' use city names—for example the [[Tampa Tarpons]], who also use the Yankees' spring training complex.

After the [[Houston Astros]] and [[Kansas City Royals]] each fielded two teams as late as 1981, no franchise did so until the [[New York Yankees]] in 2013. The Yankees were joined by the [[Detroit Tigers]] and [[Philadelphia Phillies]] in fielding two teams in 2016 and 2018, respectively. As of the 2024 season, no major league clubs field more than one team in the FCL.
