The Little League World Series championship is Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on ABC, from South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Curaçao plays Nevada.
Here is every way to watch it, including the free ones.
The short answer
It’s on ABC. If you have an antenna, you already have it. If you have cable, it’s your local ABC channel. If you have neither, the options are below.
Free, no subscription
Over-the-air antenna. ABC is a broadcast network. A $20 indoor antenna picks it up in most of the country with no monthly cost. Simplest free option, and most people forget it exists.
Free trials. Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV all offer trials to new subscribers, generally three to five days. All three carry ABC. You’ll need to enter a payment method at signup, and you have to cancel before the trial ends or it converts to a monthly subscription. Hulu + Live TV also carries ABC, though its trial terms change often — check before you sign up.
If you don’t have a TV provider
You need a service that carries ABC. The ESPN app won’t work on its own — it requires provider credentials.
Fubo — carries ABC in most markets. Check your ZIP code first; availability varies.
Hulu + Live TV — includes ABC, bundles Disney+ and ESPN.
YouTube TV — includes ABC in nearly all markets.
DirecTV Stream — includes ABC on the base package.
All month-to-month, no contracts.
What about ESPN+?
ESPN+ carried earlier rounds, but the championship is a network ABC broadcast. ESPN+ by itself will not get you the final. You need ABC access — antenna, a provider login, or one of the live-TV services above.
Watching outside the United States
ESPN’s international feeds and local rights-holders vary by country. In Curaçao and the Dutch Caribbean, check local listings — the international championship drew significant coverage there this week.
