On Saturday, Aug. 24, the United States and international championship games at 3:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET, respectively, will determine the matchups for those games. The winners will play in the championship game and the losers will play in the third place game.
How does the Little League World Series work?
The Little League World Series is split into two brackets: international and United States. The two sets of teams play separate double-elimination tournaments, meaning each team has to lose twice to be eliminated from contention. Once the two brackets determine a champion and runner-up, those teams play in the championship and third-place games.
