Newark Eagles all-time roster

The following is the list of players on the Newark Eagles all-time roster. These are Newark Eagles players who appeared in at least one game for the Eagles, or for the teams that merged to form the Eagles, the Newark Dodgers and Brooklyn Eagles, from 1933 to 1951.

On-going research continuously discovers unreported or misreported games (and the affected players), while some games and players may be lost forever. Therefore, some Negro league players' affiliations will likely remain incomplete and possibly disputed.
