The 2026 Little League softball World Series will take place in August, but there are many deciding games to be played before then. Regional tournaments will kick off this week across the country.

Seven regionals are starting up in the coming days, with host cities ranging from San Bernardino, California, to Bristol, Connecticut. One spot has already been clinched in last week's North Carolina regional, with Johnston County beating out 2024 champions Pitt County for a guaranteed spot in the World Series bracket.

Still, there are seven more spots up for grabs in the United States. There will also be four international teams rounding out the field, representing the Asia-Pacific, Canada, Europe-Africa and Latin America regions. 

This is just the beginning.

Here's everything you need to know about the 2026 Little League softball regionals, including TV channel and streaming options for each tournament.
