WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — 2025 marks the 78th anniversary of the Little League World Series.

The LLWS will begin on Wednesday, August 13 and run through Sunday, August 24.

The first one was held in Williamsport in 1947.

At the time, Little League existed only in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. So, every team in the World Series that first year, save one, was from the Keystone State.

Fast-forward to today. Twenty teams are participating, representing countries from all over the world, and tens of thousands of visitors are coming to watch them play.
