The 2023 Little League World Series is here — and it should be as jam-packed and exciting as last year’s tournament.
For the second year, the Little League Baseball World Series (LLBWS) and the Little League Softball World Series (LLSWS) will showcase an extended field of 20 and 12 teams, respectively — up from 16 and 10 in previous years.
ESPN’s coverage of Little League Baseball begins Aug. 3 with the United States regional tournaments, while Little League Softball regional tournament coverage began July 22.
The LLBWS tournament in Williamsport, Pa., starts on Aug. 16 and is capped off with the United States and International finals on Aug. 26 and the LLBWS final on Aug. 27. The LLSWS tournament in Greenville, N.C., runs from Aug. 6 through the final on Aug. 13.
This year’s MLB Little League Classic will feature the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies facing off at historic Bowman Field in Williamsport on Aug. 20, which you can watch on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” broadcast at 7 p.m. ET.
We have everything you need to know — from a comprehensive schedule to how to watch all the games to results and highlights as we get underway.
Full coverage of the LLWS can be found here.
