Where Are Out of the Park Baseball 26 Save Files Located?

OOTP 26 keeps each league as a .lg folder under Documents, with a huge OneDrive warning attached for good reason.

Last updated

Out of the Park Baseball 26 stores every saved league as a folder ending in .lg inside saved_games, under Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 26. The in-game Settings > Troubleshooting screen can open that exact folder for you, which beats hunting for it by hand.

Two warnings come with the territory. OneDrive loves to redirect Documents and then choke on the huge .lg folders, corrupting leagues mid-save. And the Linux build runs through Proton, so its saves hide inside the prefix at the same relative Documents path.

Where Out of the Park Baseball 26 stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 26\saved_games

One folder per league, ending in .lg. Open it from Settings > Troubleshooting > Open folder containing saved games if you distrust the default. Exclude this tree from OneDrive before long saves.

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 26/saved_games

Same saved_games layout as Windows. If the folder looks empty, use Settings > Troubleshooting > Open customizable data folder inside the game. That button always resolves the real location on your Mac.

Linux
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3116890/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 26/saved_games

Same Windows-relative Documents path inside the Proton prefix. Copy whole .lg folders with the game closed, the same as on Windows.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move an OOTP 26 league to another computer?

Copy the whole .lg folder for that league. It holds the .dat files, exports and settings together, so a partial copy loads a broken league. Keep the game closed while copying.

Why does my league corrupt or fail to save?

OneDrive redirecting Documents is the usual cause. It syncs the giant .lg folders slowly and sometimes corrupts them mid-write. Exclude the Out of the Park Developments folder from OneDrive or point the data folder at a local drive.
