The championship series was first played in 1947 at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Originally only teams in Pennsylvania played. Over the years more teams have joined from all over the United States and and eventually outside of the United States.
Panama, Canada, and Hawaii (while still a US territory) were the first Little Leagues outside of the United States to play. The Little League World Series is currently being played by teams of boys and girls from all 50 states in the United States and 28 countries outside the United States.
Some of the countries that have won the championship include:
International teams have won the Championship 37 times with Taiwan winning the most times, that is 17. Teams from the United States have also won 37 times, 7 of which were by the team from California.
Out of the more than 16,000 games played in several countries, only 16 teams have traditionally participated in the Little League World Series tournament to win the World Championship. This has been increased to 20 starting in 2022.
The tournament always takes place at the Volunteer Stadium and the Howard J Lamade Stadium.
The qualifying tournaments will be held as follows:
The Little League Softball World Series will take place from July 7th through July 31st for the qualifiers. Then the series itself runs from August 6th through August 13th.
You know how we were talking about catching the Little League World Series? Well, I did some digging and Sling TV is hands-down the best way to stream it. With the Orange plan you get all the ESPN channels you need, the picture quality is crystal clear, and it’s super easy to use – even I figured it out! Plus, it’s way more affordable than those other guys like fuboTV or DIRECTV, especially if you’re on a budget. The only thing missing is the smell of hotdogs, but I guess we can handle that part ourselves, right?
