[[File:Battle League Full Character Select.jpeg|thumb|350px|The character select screen, with all post-launch characters available.]]
There are 16 playable characters available in the game. Of those characters, [[Rosalina]] and [[Pauline]] are playable for the first time in the ''Mario Strikers'' series, while [[Toad]], [[Shy Guy]], and [[Birdo]] are now selectable as team captains after previously being sidekicks. Unlike in previous games, rather than having one captain and three generic sidekicks as teammates, teams in this game (apart from the goalie) are comprised entirely of main playable characters, though the player does have the option to include multiple [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], or Shy Guys on a team, in a similar vein to sidekicks. Because of this, any character on a team can perform their Hyper Strike during a match, as opposed to previous games, where only the captain could perform special moves. Themes for each character when they shoot a goal make a return from ''Mario Strikers Charged'', but unlike that game, they are all rock-and-roll-themed. [[Boom Boom]]s are seen as goalies, taking over the role from [[Kritter]]s in previous games. The game launched with 10 characters; the other 6 were included through 3 updates of 2 characters each, the first of which was released on July 21, 2022, the second on September 21, 2022, and the third on December 13, 2022.<ref name="updates"/><ref name=Update1>Nintendo (July 19, 2022).

As with the previous two games in the ''Mario Strikers'' series, ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'' was developed by [[Next Level Games]], though this is the company's first game since its full acquisition by [[Nintendo]]. The game was directed by Devon Blanchet, who previously served as a design director for ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', while the music was composed by Chad York and Darren Radtke, who composed for every ''Super Mario'' game by Next Level Games since ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.

This was the final new game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] to feature [[Charles Martinet]] as the voice of Wario and Waluigi before he stepped down from voice acting in the franchise and became the Mario Ambassador in August of 2023, and also the final game to feature [[Deanna Mustard]] as the voice of Daisy.
