The Northern Colorado Owlz are an independent baseball team of the Pioneer League, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB) but is an MLB Partner League. They are based in Windsor, Colorado, and play their home games at 4Rivers Equipment Stadium at Future Legends Complex.

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.{{cite web|title=Pioneer League named MLB Partner League|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/pioneer-league-designated-mlb-partner-league|website=Baseball America|date=November 30, 2020|access-date=November 30, 2020}} The league's Orem Owlz of Orem, Utah, relocated to Windsor concurrent with this change to the league.{{cite web|last=Kirk|first=Alexander|title=Orem Owlz announce move to Windsor in 2021|url=https://www.9news.com/article/sports/baseball/northern-colorado-owlz/73-bb93ff83-d8be-4057-aa8d-33c1d93c18af|website=9 News|date=November 30, 2020|access-date=November 30, 2020}}

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.{{Cite news|date=January 28, 2021|title=Pioneer League unveils 96-game 2021 schedule|url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2021/01/27/pioneer-league-unveils-96-game-2021-schedule/|access-date=August 26, 2021|work=Ballpark Digest|publisher=August Publications|language=en-US}} The Owlz initially played at Jackson Field at the University of Northern Colorado.{{cite news |last1=Reichard |first1=Kevin |title=NoCo Owlz to open season at Jackson Field |url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2022/05/31/noco-owlz-to-open-season-at-jackson-field/ |access-date=June 22, 2022 |work=Ballpark Digest |publisher=August Publications |date=May 31, 2022}}{{cite news |last1=Lytle |first1=Kevin |title=Northern Colorado minor league baseball, soccer teams begin home slate, but not at new stadium |url=https://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/2022/06/01/northern-colorado-owlz-hailstorm-stadium-not-yet-ready-play/7465005001/ |access-date=June 22, 2022 |work=Fort Collins Coloradoan |date=June 1, 2022}} TicketSmarter Stadium at Future Legends Complex was expected to open in 2022, but has been delayed several times.{{Cite press release |title=Future Legends Complex Announces Stadium Naming Rights and Ticket Sales Partnership with TicketSmarter |url=https://www.northerncoloradoowlz.com/sports/bsb/20221st/releases/TicketSmarter_Release |access-date=May 19, 2022 |date=April 5, 2022 |website=Northern Colorado Owlz |language=en-US}} The club currently uses the complex's secondary stadium for its home games.
