How 2026 Little League Classic tickets worked

The August 23 game and its same-day ticket drawing have ended. There is no ticket sale to attend the completed 2026 game.

For that event, fans attending the 9 a.m. Game 17 at Howard J. Lamade Stadium could enter a drawing through the LLWS App. Entry required an on-site QR code near the stadium entrances between 7 and 10 a.m., with one entry per person. These were 2026 rules; check MLB and Little League for future events.

Where is the MLB Little League Classic played?

The 2026 game took place at Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, 1700 West Fourth Street in Williamsport. It is the home of the Williamsport Crosscutters in the MLB Draft League.

The ballpark opened in 1926 and marked its centennial in 2026. The Crosscutters list a regular capacity of 2,500. That club-game figure should not be treated as the attendance limit for an MLB event with a different layout.

Archived 2026 bag policy and entry rules

The 2026 MLB event policy prohibited bags larger than 16 by 16 by 8 inches, except medical and diaper bags, and allowed staff to inspect every bag. Historic Bowman Field had no storage for prohibited items.

The policy also banned hard-sided coolers, glass bottles, professional cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, and most outside drinks. It allowed one clear, factory-sealed water bottle of 20 ounces or less. Use the current official policy for any future game.

Why MLB plays this game in Williamsport

MLB launched the Little League Classic in 2017. The event brings Major League players and Little League World Series teams together during the tournament, then stages a regular-season game at Historic Bowman Field.

The 2026 game was the ninth edition. Atlanta and Milwaukee joined a list that has included clubs from both leagues, with Seattle and the New York Mets playing the 2025 game.
