From doing homework to making history.
The Little League World Series is a chance for baseball’s youth to showcase the health of the sport, making for quite the treat for everyone involved. There’s already been evidence of how success in Williamsport, Pa., can lead to success in the big leagues.
Now the next generation will make their case over the course of 38 games to carry the torch. And for some, it’ll be their names on the back of every fan’s jersey.
It’s one last hoorah until back to school becomes a reality, where math and science problems will be relegated to paper and not the baseball diamond. Soak it in and relish the moment.
And by Aug. 27, one team will earn the lifelong title of “Little League World Series Champion.”

Little League World Series bracket 2023
The bracket is broken down into two smaller versions — international and United States. By the time Aug. 27 rolls around, it’ll be the winner of the United States bracket facing off against their International counterpart.
Every game is not win-or-go-home, meaning a loss is not the end of the world. The tournament is double elimination so teams can afford to drop one game early on and still win enough to become champions.
You can a PDF version of the bracket from the official Little League website.
