With regional play over, the teams participating in the Little League World Series are set. Now we look forward to bracket play, where 20 teams will face off to be crowned the Little League Baseball World Series champions.
With tournament games right around the corner, below is all of the information you need to follow along with the Little League World Series.
Dates
The Little League World Series will start on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Games will be played until Aug. 27, with the championship game being played on that date between the United States champion and the International champion.
Format
There are 10 United States regions and 10 international regions. The winner from each region has already been decided, giving us 20 teams squaring off in the Little League World Series tournament. The 10 United States teams will play a double elimination tournament against each other until the top two teams meet in the United States championship game, which is single elimination. The 10 International teams do the same, playing each other in a double-elimination tournament that concludes with a single elimination championship game. Both a United States champion and an International champion are crowned, but the two teams then face off in the Little League World Series Final to determine the ultimate winner.
All in all, there will be 38 games played. The full bracket can be seen here.
