Prague (Czechia) Little League will be making the trip to Greenville to represent the Europe and Africa Region at the 2025 Little League Softball® World Series, Presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, after a 5-3 victory over Italy in the championship game.
Throughout the tournament, Prague LL delivered an undefeated performance, scoring more than 95+ runs while preventing their opponents from posting a single run over the course of seven games for a 7-0 record.
This marks the first time since 2014 that Prague Little League will make the journey to compete in the LLSWS and fourth trip overall for the country. After Prague’s previous appearance, the region was represented by Northwest Czech Republic Little League, which earned bids to the World Series in both 2017 and 2018 before four-straight trips by Italy as the Europe and Africa Region representatives.
Czechia will open the 2025 LLSWS with an opening-day matchup in the Orange Bracket against the representatives of the Canada Region in Game Three at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 3, on ESPN+.
Since 2018, the Little League Softball program has also seen an overall increase in participation of approximately 8% thanks to continued support of its official partners, a celebration of the Little League® Girls with Game® Initiative, increased visibility across the ESPN Platforms each summer, and a growing partnership with the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL).
In addition to the fun and excitement of the 2025 Little League Softball World Series, participants at this year’s event will also have the unique experience to spend time with the top athletes in the game as the AUSL heads to Greenville for the 2025 AUSL Pro Games at the LLSWS, Presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, featuring a doubleheader at East Carolina University on Wednesday, August 6.
Starting with a Little League Softball West Region matchup between Utah and Northern California on Saturday, July 19, at Noon ET on ESPN+, there will be a total of 129 softball games broadcast on ESPN Platforms over the course of five weeks in 2025. As part of that action-packed schedule also includes a record number 27 softball games set to air on linear networks, featuring all seven U.S. Region Championship games as well as 13 of the 22 games at the LLSWS, including the championship game on ABC for the third-consecutive year.
