The 2026 Little League World Series is set to begin in Williamsport, Pennsylvania this week. Ten teams from the United States and 10 teams from around the globe will participate in the iconic youth baseball tournament.
But, heading into the 2026 Little League World Series, some fans are “disgusted” by an aspect of the event.
You’re now able to bet on the 2026 Little League World Series. While the Little League World Series is not promoting or directly affiliated with any gambling, some sportsbooks are allowing bets to be made.
Seriously? We’ve gotten so into the sports gambling culture that we’re not making bets on 11 and 12-year-olds?

Fans are ‘disgusted’ by LLWS betting
“I don’t think you should be allowed to bet on the Little League World Series,” one fan wrote.
“If you google LLWS odds your phone should automatically call the number,” one fan added.
“I feel like it should be illegal to bet on the little league World Series,” one fan added.
“Disgusted by this,” one sahred.
“I feel like if you bet on the Little League World Series you should be placed under a financial conservatorship,” one fan added.
“Before gambling apps were legal in New York, I found out an acquaintance had gone out of his way to put a bet in on the LLWS and it was generally agreed that was the sign he was developing a problem,” one fan added.
It’s not stopping people, though.
What do you think? Should it be legal to bet on the Little League World Series?
