COVID-19 Update: as of April 3, 2020

This is much bigger than Little League^®.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is rapidly changing the way that we, think, act, gather, learn, and live our daily lives. And, yes, that also means how we play Little League.

With the most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Little League International Board of Directors and staff is now strongly advising all local Little League programs to suspend their seasons until Monday, May 11th.

We recognize that this is the heart of the traditional Little League season, and we share in the great disappointment that many are feeling surrounding this additional pause in the 2020 season. However, it is our hope that by doing this, we will all play a small, but important part in flattening the curve.

Little League continues to consult with appropriate medical advisors, government health officials and our volunteer leaders around the world, and are committed to doing the best they can for the safety and well-being of our players, families, volunteers, and fans.

As this situation evolves, Little League International is committed to sharing the best guidance possible for all 6,500 leagues in more than 84 countries. It is Little League International’s sincere hope that we can find ways to bring everyone back to the Little League fields this season, whether that’s later this spring or throughout the summer.

Currently, Little League International is exploring all possible scenarios for the 2020 Little League International Tournament and tournament eligibility for our leagues and players in various divisions of play.

Little League will continue to provide additional guidance on the impact of delaying the season and has developed a series of FAQs available at LittleLeague.org/Coronavirus.

Stay safe. We’re all in this together.
