After 10 days of thrilling competition, the 2026 Little League World Series has narrowed a field of 20 talented teams down to just four. These remaining squads will now battle in the International and United States Championship games, each hoping to secure a spot in the LLWS title match in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
The day kicks off with the International Championship, featuring an exciting clash between Curacao and Tokyo. Curacao has been nothing short of sensational, remaining undefeated throughout the tournament. Tokyo, meanwhile, has been clawing their way back from the brink by winning four straight elimination games.
This matchup also offers Tokyo a chance at redemption against Curaçao, the only team to beat them in this tournament.
Later
in the day, the United States Championship will decide who earns the chance to represent the U.S. in the final. West Side Little League from Hamilton, Ohio, will face Paseo Verde Little League from Nevada.
The teams that fall short in Saturday’s semifinals will have one final opportunity to take the field in the Consolation Game, scheduled for Sunday morning at 10 a.m. ET.
For the winners, however, the real prize awaits: a spot in the championship game at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.
