Sunday Showdown: 2026 LLWS Regional Scores & Bracket Chaos!
Sunday’s Action at the 2026 Little League World Series Regionals
What Are Regionals?
Think of the Little League World Series (LLWS) like a giant tree. The Regionals are the big branches. Before teams can go to the famous tournament in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, they have to win their own regional tournament.
- United States is split into 10 regions (like Mid-Atlantic, West, Southeast, etc.).
- International teams play in their own regions (like Canada, Japan, Europe, etc.).
- Each region holds a mini-tournament. The winner gets a "Golden Ticket" to Williamsport.
ELI5: Imagine a school spelling bee. First, you compete in your classroom (Regionals). If you win, you go to the school-wide bee (Williamsport).
Completed Games (Final Scores)
These games finished on Sunday. The winners move on; the losers might get a second chance in a double-elimination bracket (meaning you have to lose twice to be out).

| Midwest | North Dakota vs. Nebraska | 8–4 | North Dakota takes the first game. |
