The 2021 Little League World Series was held from August 19 to August 29 at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania as the 74th edition of the Little League World Series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was limited to US-based teams only.[1] The most recent prior edition of the tournament contested without international teams had been 1975. Taylor North Little League of Taylor, Michigan, defeated West Side Little League of Hamilton, Ohio, in the championship by a 5–2 score. It was the first championship for a team from Michigan since 1959.[2]

On August 13, it was announced that tickets would not be distributed to the public due to concerns over the Delta variant, with spectators limited to invited friends and family of teams, and other high-level supporters.[3]
