Little League World Series 2026 Updated US, International Brackets and Schedule

The United States and International brackets will be decided Friday in Williamsport at the 2026 Little League World Series, with a trip to the tournament's championship game on the line.

Which four teams will compete for the honor and when can viewers check out the action from historic Lamade Stadium?

Mountain Region: Paseo Verde Little League (Henderson, Nevada)

Great Region: West Side Little League (Hamilton, Ohio)

Curaçao Region: Pariba Little League (Willemstad, Curaçao)

Japan: Joto Little League (Tokyo, Japan)

Challenger Division Exhibition Game: Berwyn, Pennsylvania vs. Oakley, California (Not televised)

Game 35 - International Championship: Curaçao Region vs. Japan Region (12:30 p.m., ABC)

Game 36 - United States Championship: Mountain Region vs. Great Lakes Region (3:30 p.m., ABC)

Ohio got a complete game out of pitcher Walker Osborne and a huge bases-clearing triple from Bob Frazier to defeat Iowa, 7-1, and set up a high-stakes showdown with Nevada in the United States Championship Game on Friday.

It was a dominant performance by a team that is tied for the most games played in this year's tournament at six.

Will the extra games prove costly and take their toll on the team as it plays for the right to represent its country in the Little League World Series Championship game? Perhaps, but the squad is battle tested and will look to hang the first "L" on Paseo Verde LL from Henderson, Nevada on Friday afternoon.

Joining Ohio with six games played in this tournament is Japan, who has won four elimination games to set up its rematch with Curaçao in the international final.

In their first meeting, Curaçao blanked the team from Tokyo, beating them decisively, 6-0.

An 11-time winner in the Little League World Series, a victory would bring Japan one closer to Chinese-Taipei, who holds the record for most LLWS victories by an international team with 18.
