Little League World Series schedule: Full bracket, times, channels for every 2022 LLWS game
Tomorrow’s stars compete today at the 2022 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This year’s iteration marks the 75th anniversary of the competition. And it should be a no-brainer as international teams will be taking part for the first time since 2019.
Much remains the same. But there are a few new creases in the tournament, namely that it now features 20 teams, as opposed to the 16-team format that the LLWS has used for much of its existence. That means fans should be treated to more hits, more strikeouts, more web jewels, and more joyful moments from the legendary tournament than ever before.
It should be lively atmosphere in Williamsport. With spectators allowed back into the ballpark, more eyes than ever should be on the action. The mossy slopes of Lamade Stadium are expected to be packed with spectators all hoping to catch a glimpse of the sport’s brightest young talents.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Little League World Series 2022, including a full TV guide and a bracket for every game in the tournament.
Little League World Series Bracket 2022
Twenty teams compete in the double elimination tournament to find out where the best little league team in the world ranks. That means teams that lose the first game of the tournament still have a chance to fight for the title.
Each team plays a minimum of three games, with the losing teams of each round advancing to the elimination round and the winning teams of each round advancing to the winning round. The US Championship and International Championship winners will compete in a one-game winner-take-all final.
Meanwhile, teams that lost at the US and international championships will face off in the consolidation match for third place.
A PDF of the tournament table is available on the LLWS website. The tournament schedule and results of each game in the tournament are below.
