On Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Little League Baseball World Series will stage its Game 14 at Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, featuring a clash between the Great Lakes and New England regions.
The Great Lakes representative, West Side Little League from Hamilton, Ohio, arrived after capturing its regional title but fell in its opening series to the Mountain Region, losing 6‑5 in a nail‑biting finish.
Across the country, the New England squad, Bridgewater Joe Lazaro Little League from Bridgewater, Massachusetts, entered the tournament unbeaten in regional play before a 2‑1 defeat at the hands of the Metro Region champion, Bayonne Central Little League.
Double‑Elimination Format
The World Series employs a double‑elimination bracket, meaning each team can absorb a single loss and remain alive, but a second defeat ends their championship hopes. With the tournament running from August 19 through August 30, every game carries added weight as squads vie for a spot in the final.
Fans can watch the action live on ESPN or stream it through Fubo TV, ensuring that viewers across the United States can follow the excitement in real time.
The championship game is scheduled for August 30, marking the culmination of a month‑long competition that began with opening matches in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where local hosts welcomed the first wave of teams.
