Retired Major League Baseball umpires have filed a lawsuit against MLB claiming they were underpaid pension benefits, according to a report by USA TODAY Sports columnist Bob Nightengale on November 5, 2026.
The legal action alleges that the league failed to provide the full pension amounts owed to former umpires under the terms of their retirement agreements. Details of the specific claims and the number of plaintiffs were not immediately disclosed.
MLB has not yet issued a public response to the lawsuit.
