One of the most anticipated sporting events of the summer is back, with the 2026 edition of the Little League World Series set to crown another champion.
Baseball players between 10 and 12 years old representing 20 teams from around the globe are back in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with the winners of the U.S. and International brackets set to face off for the championship on Aug. 30.
There will be no repeat champion this year, as Taiwan didn't make it through the Asia-Pacific region tournament after winning the LLWS title in 2025 and finishing as runner-up in 2024. The U.S. bracket also features 10 new teams from last year, illustrating how difficult it is to navigate the regionals and make it to Williamsport.
Who will claim youth baseball glory to close out this summer? Here's all you need to know to watch every game of the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series.
