2026 Little League Softball World Series: How to watch crucial games today
Follow the Little League Softball World Series on Aug. 6, including game times, TV channels, scores and how to stream.
As the 2026 Little League Softball World Series nears its conclusion, Thursday, August 6 has been designated as the day for the decisive games of the tournament. In the first bracket confrontation, Florida and North Carolina will face off at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN, with a berth in the bracket championship game on Saturday, August 8 hanging in the balance.
The loser of this match will find themselves in a tougher position, as they would need to secure wins on Friday, August 7 and Saturday to progress to the LLSWS championship game on Sunday, August 9.
In the second bracket clash, Kentucky will challenge Puerto Rico at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN, also with the same scenario in play. A victory for either team would grant them a day of respite, allowing them to return to the field on Saturday. However, a defeat would mean that they would have to play back-to-back matches on both Friday and Saturday to still make it to the LLSWS championship game.
Comprehensive live coverage and updates from today's events will be provided by USA TODAY Sports throughout the day, ensuring that fans can stay informed and engaged with the tournament. Detailed information on how to watch each game will be available, with all times listed in Eastern and confirmed as accurate as of Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026.
