A Fourth Consecutive Run to the World Stage
The South Czech Republic Little League, based in Brno, captured the Europe and Africa Region title last weekend, earning a place in the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series. This marks the team’s fourth straight appearance at the regional level and the sixth overall in the tournament’s history, underscoring a sustained period of dominance for Czech baseball.
The championship game, scheduled for August 21, 2026, will pit the Czech champions against the winner of the Canada versus Asia‑Pacific showdown. The World Series itself will unfold from August 19 through August 30 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the historic heart of Little League baseball.
Beyond the baseball squad, Czechia has recently made notable strides in Little League softball. The Prague Little League secured the 2025 Europe and Africa Region berth in softball after completing an undefeated regional tournament, highlighting the country’s growing presence across both disciplines.
