Little League World Series 2024 Kicks Off with Thrilling Performances

Opening day features no-hitters and sets the stage for intense competition in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Two no-hitters highlight the first day as Mexico and Chinese Taipei dominate from the mound.
Twenty teams, split evenly between U.S. and international squads, compete in a double-elimination format.
Increased media coverage and fan interest elevate the tournament's profile, similar to the College World Series.
Betting on games is popular at offshore sites, with some matches drawing more bets than professional sports.
The tournament runs from August 14 to 25, with all games broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
