Teams from across the United States and the world will be competing for a shot at the title, starting with a four-game slate on Sunday, Aug. 2. Action wraps up with the championship game a week later. 

Twelve teams — eight representing regions across the U.S. and four international outfits — are divided into two brackets for tournament play. The winners of each bracket will meet in the championship game.

Last year, West Suburban Little League of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, captured the Mid-Atlantic Region’s first LLSWS championship, defeating Floyds Knobs Community Club Little League of Floyds Knobs, Indiana, in the title game. Neither squad returns for 2026, as new regional champions have punched their tickets to Greenville.
