Qualification for the
2021 Little League World Series took place across eight United States regions. The first regional tournament began on August 5 and the final tournament concluded on August 14. As a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic,
Little League Baseball made the decision to hold the tournament without teams from outside of the United States for the first time since
1975. Instead, the top two teams from each U.S. region qualified for the final tournament.[1] In all, 53 teams were invited to the regional tournaments; two from California, two from Texas, one each from the other 48 states, and one from the District of Columbia.
The tournament took place in
Whitestown, Indiana,[2] during August 8–14.[3] On August 11, the team from Kentucky was removed from tournament play due to having at least one positive COVID-19 test.[4]
The tournament took place in
San Bernardino, California, during August 8–14.[8] On August 7, the team from Alaska was removed from tournament play due to having at least one positive COVID-19 test.[9]
The tournament took place in
Warner Robins, Georgia, during August 6–11.[10] On August 7, the team from North Carolina was removed from further tournament play due to having at least one positive COVID-19 test.[11]
The tournament took place in
Waco, Texas, during August 5–10.[12] On August 6, the teams from Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Texas East were all removed from further tournament play due to each team having at least one positive COVID-19 test. This resulted in a reworking of the schedule, causing the championship game to be moved up a day from its originally planned date of August 11.[13]
