2022 Little League World Series

The 2022 Little League World Series was a youth baseball tournament which took place from August 17 to August 28 at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Ten teams from the United States and ten teams from other countries competed in the 75th edition of the Little League World Series (LLWS). Honolulu Little League of Honolulu, Hawaii, defeated Pabao Little League of Willemstad, Curaçao, in the championship game by a 13–3 score; the game ended in four innings due to the run rule.

This was the first LLWS with a 20-team format. International teams returned to the tournament after the edition was held only with teams based in the United States, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The general public was able to attend tournament games with no attendance restrictions for the first time since the edition.

Regional qualifying tournaments were held from February to August 2022. This is the first year for the Metro Region and the Mountain Region in the United States. This is also the first year of an annual rotational schedule involving the Caribbean and Latin America Regions whereby two of the three champions from Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico qualify directly while the third may still qualify through their normal regional tournament. In 2022, champions from Panama and Puerto Rico directly qualified.
