There is now a Womens Pro Baseball League.  Four teams.  Two east coast, two west coast.  Should actually start playing in 2026.  I have some doubts as to how commercially viable it will be, but I wish them luck.

Also the NFL is allegedly looking seriously at at least one permanent European team.  The actual operational problem is apparently transport turnaround time.  I understand similar problems existed back in the prehistoric days when sports teams traveled by train across the U.S.  Caused significant scheduling issues.
