Many of the high-level baseball players of tomorrow earn their stripes at the Little League World Series. Every year, pre-teens from across the world showcase their pitching stuff, baserunning, and bat speeds on the biggest stage in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and only one team gets the glory of hoisting a trophy at the end of it.
The LLWS consists of two sections. U.S. and international teams compete in regional tournaments to qualify for the main event in Williamsport, which starts in mid-August. Many international regionals have already concluded, but the U.S. portion starts in late July.
So if you thought adults were the only hypercompetitive elite athletes, think again and check out the LLWS. I’ll get you pumped with this comprehensive watch guide.

Best TV plans for watching the 2025 Little League World Series
There are a few permutations of plan combos that would work just fine for watching the LLWS, but the best by far is going with just one: Hulu + Live TV. I go into more details about why it’s the best service for the LLWS below.
Hulu + Live TV ($81.99–$95.99/mo.)
Hulu on its own is a service with a lot to offer on the entertainment front writ large—Bachelor in Paradise, The Bear, and Handmaid’s Tale for instance. But when it comes to sports, adding the Live TV portion to the service really unlocks its potential.
Hulu + Live TV gives you access to ABC, every ESPN network, and ESPN+. So, just this one service would allow you to watch every Little League World Series regional and main tournament game. Pretty sweet, huh?
One of the best features of Hulu + Live TV is its unlimited DVR storage, allowing you to never miss a pitch. The service also includes other channels where baseball lives, like FOX, FS1, and MLB Network—perfect for following your favorite team straight into October.
How to watch the 2025 Little League World Series for free
There are ways to watch the LLWS for free, but they’re honestly quite limited due to the combined length of the regional and main tournaments. The aforementioned Hulu + Live TV only offers a three-day free trial, and ESPN+ doesn’t currently offer a free trial at all.
If you want to watch games for free without signing up for multiple services, I recommend getting your hands on an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to access your local ABC station with minimal setup. But even this option won’t get you many Little League World Series games. It will, however, allow you to watch the most important ones, such as the U.S. and International championship games, and the LLWS title game.
How to watch Little League World Series FAQ
Where is the Little League World Series played?

Can I stream the Little League World Series?

How many teams are in the Little League World Series?
The main LLWS tournament consists of 20 teams—10 from the U.S., and 10 from other parts of the world.

The 2025 MLB Little League Classic will air exclusively on ESPN on Sunday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m. ET. This year’s game features a regular-season matchup between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Mets, live from Williamsport.
