The 2025 Little League World Series has begun in Williamsport, PA as 20 teams from around the world will compete to see which Little League All-Star team is the best on the planet.

It is a fascinating event every year that brings teams from every corner of the world to face off while playing America's game. This will be the 78th time the event has taken place. A team from the U.S. won last year, as Lake Mary Little League from Lake Mary, Florida beat Kuei-Shan Little League from Taoyuan, Taiwan 2-1 in extra innings to win the crown.

This year, 10 teams from the United States and 10 teams from international cities will battle it out. The winner of the United States bracket will face the winner of the international bracket for the championship on August 24 at Howard J. Lamade Stadium.

What follows is a look at where the teams are from in this year's tournament.

Where Teams in the United States Bracket From?

The United States bracket features teams from 10 regions. That change was made in 2022, when the field expanded from eight regions to 10 with the addition of the Metro and Mountain regions.

This year, squads from Illinois, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Nevada, Massachusetts, Washington, South Carolina, Texas, and Hawaii make up the U.S. group.
