One of the summer’s most coveted traditions is just around the corner with the Little League World Series, a set of games meant to determine the best 12U baseball team in the world.
The United States has dominated the tournament in recent years. After a six-year stretch between 2012 and 2017 where international teams won five of six championships, a United States representative has won the title every year since with Lake Mary, Florida winning the 2024 tournament, the state’s first-ever LLWS championship.
Now, in 2025, Lake Mary will not be returning to the tournament. In fact, the only American region to return a champion from the previous six tournaments is Honolulu, Hawaii, representing the West region this year.
With that in mind, could this be the year that an international team breaks the American streak? Here’s a full breakdown of the tournament schedule.
