Weather Forces Little League World Series Schedule Shake-up
21 Aug
Summary
- Thursday's games were rescheduled due to potential inclement weather.
- Two games will now start at 3 p.m. ET and two at 6 p.m. ET.
- Williamsport forecast predicts rain and thunderstorms through 4 p.m. ET.
Inclement weather has prompted Little League International to revise the game schedule for Thursday, August 20, at the 2026 Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Organizers cited the need to ensure the best playing experience for all teams. The weather forecast for Williamsport indicated rain and the possibility of thunderstorms continuing through 4 p.m. ET, posing a risk of delays or postponements.
Consequently, the previously scheduled four individual games beginning at 12 p.m. ET have been consolidated into two sets. Two games are now slated to commence at 3 p.m. ET, followed by another two games at 6 p.m. ET. This adjustment aims to mitigate the impact of the predicted adverse weather conditions while still allowing for the completion of scheduled pool play games, weather permitting.
