In conjunction with a contraction of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Pioneer League was converted from an MLB-affiliated Rookie Advanced league to an independent baseball league and granted status as an MLB Partner League.[1] The league's Orem Owlz of Orem, Utah, relocated to Windsor concurrent with this change to the league.[2]

With the addition of the Boise Hawks from the former Northwest League, the Pioneer League was left with nine teams for the 2021 season, though this problem was solved when the Owlz elected to sit out the 2021 season to allow for construction of their new ballpark to be completed.[3]
