Little League World Series bracket tracker: Updated list of teams to qualify for 2023 LLWS baseball tournament

Just about everyone has some memories playing Little League baseball. A few teams are going to have the chance to their time a little extra memorable.

The 2023 Little League World Series is just around the corner, with regional tournaments wrapping up on through Aug. 11 as the final teams that will head to Williamsport, Pa., are decided.

Last year was a bit of a return to normalcy for the Little League World Series. The tournament was called off in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and only American-based teams competed in 2021. A year ago, it was back to the full 20-team version of the LLWS, ending with Hawaii's Little League team besting Curacao's to win the championship.
