Last year’s LLBWS champion Lake Mary was knocked out in their regional final against Irmo, South Carolina. That means there will be a new champion in 2025 among the 20 teams that will make their way to Pennsylvania.

The event includes 10 teams from the United States and 10 teams from elsewhere around the globe. The U.S. championship and international championship will take place on Saturday, Aug. 21, and be televisedon ABC. The international game will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET and the U.S. game will begin at 3:30 p.m. ET.

On Aug. 24, the consolation game will take place at 10 a.m. ET on ESPN2 and the LLBWS championship game will start at 3 p.m. ET on ABC.

How the Little League World Series works

The Little League World Series uses a bracket, double-elimination system. Until it reaches the championship games, any team that loses once will get another chance to stay in the competition, but once a team loses twice, they are eliminated from play. The U.S., international and the LLBWS championship game will be winner take all.

The games run for six innings and if the score is tied up at that point, a seventh inning, played standard as the ones before it, is added. If the contest is still tied after seven innings, each team will begin their half of the inning with a runner on second base.

All players must be between 10 and 12 years old.
