Why do we recommend watching the 2025 Little League World Series on Sling TV?
Sling TV is our best bet to watch the 2025 Little League World Series without question. The streamer’s Orange plan carries ESPN and ESPN2, as well as ESPN3, which simulcasts sports programming appearing on ABC, so you won’t miss a single game of the tournament.
Access to the Sling Orange plan will cost you $46 per month normally, but Sling recently introduced a really cool alternate option for viewers as well. Its new Passed option allows customers to sign up for one day, one weekend, or one week of access to Sling TV, for a price ranging from $5 to $15. Two week-long Passes would allow viewers to stream the entire Little League World Series for only $30 total.
That’s the cheapest price you’ll find out there, and you’ll be able to enjoy the 30+ other channels you’ll find in the Sling Orange package during that time as well. That’s why it is our favorite way to stream the Little League World Series this year.
Sling TV
Sling TV is The Streamable’s choice for cord-cutters on a budget. Sling is a live TV streaming service with multiple channel packages. The $45.99/month Sling Orange plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN. The $45.99/month Sling Blue plan offers about 40 channels, including ABC, Fox, and NBC in major markets.
You can combine Orange+Blue for a total of $60.99 / month. Sling also offers many channel add-on packages starting at $6/month.
Can you stream 2025 Little League World Series for free?
Because of the length of the 2025 LLWS, there are no streamers that will let you watch the whole thing for free. However, the following services all offer ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2, and each comes with a free trial of some kind.
The DIRECTV MySports Genre Pack offers a five-day free trial to all new subscribers. Once the trial ends, MySports costs $70 per month for around 20 channels.
Fubo has a trial that can last between one day and seven, depending on several factors such as what time of month you sign up. When the trial concludes, Fubo costs $85 per month and up, not including fees.
Hulu + Live TV has a free trial that lasts three days for all new customers. After the trial, plans that include the Disney Bundle for free cost $83 per month.
Lastly, YouTube TV has a free trial that can last between two and 14 days, again depending on numerous factors. Its plan costs $83 per month when the trial ends.
What are all the services you can use to watch the 2025 Little League World Series?
The five live TV streaming services we’ve discussed so far are your options for streaming the 2025 Little League World Series. As we talked about, Sling TV is our favorite pick of the lot, but DIRECTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV are all options as well.
The new ESPN streaming service launched this past week and will have both games as well. ESPN Unlimited costs $30 per month to stream on a standalone basis.

About the 2025 Little League World Series
The 2025 Little League World Series will be broadcast from Williamsport, PA. The tournament has been shown on ABC since 1963, making it the company’s longest-running consecutive league partnership. The 20 teams playing in the tournament hail from all over the United States and the globe, making it a truly worldwide competition.
The LLWS will once again be a modified double-elimination tournament. Teams that lose twice are eliminated until the championships begin; those are single-elimination games, so teams that don’t lose a game until that round are still able to be eliminated from the tournament after only a single loss.
How to watch 2025 Little League World Series from anywhere
If you’ll be away from home and can’t watch the 2025 Little League World Series as you normally would, you can still catch all of the action no matter where you are in the world with a VPN.

A VPN is a safe and secure way to stay protected online while streaming your favorite sports, movies, and shows on the go. Keep in mind that you will still need to be subscribed to a live TV streaming service like Sling TV in order to stream the tournament with a VPN.
