The Little League Baseball and Softball International Tournament will feature 81 televised games throughout the month of August. ESPN and its family of networks, ABC, and the New England Sports Network (NESN) will provide the live coverage.

ESPN, which will televise 70 Little League International Tournament games next month, expanded its coverage in 2011 adding the semifinals of seven U.S. Little League region tournaments. As it has every year since 1997, each of the eight U.S. region finals will be televised by ESPN or ESPN2.

This year, the Longhorn Network, part of the ESPN family, will televise live all 12 pool play games of the Little League Baseball Southwestern Region Tournament for the first time. The Longhorn Network debuted in August 2011.

This is the sixth consecutive year ESPN and its family of networks will televise each of the eight World Series Championship games live. Coverage of Little League’s International Tournament begins with the airing of the Big League Baseball title game on Aug. 1, from Easley, S.C. The other division championship games that will be televised include Big League Softball on Aug. 8, from Kalamazoo, Mich.; Senior League Softball on Aug. 11, from Lower Sussex, Del.; Little League Softball on Aug. 15, from Portland, Ore.; Senior League Baseball on Aug. 18, from Bangor, Maine; Junior League Baseball on Aug. 18, from Taylor, Mich.; and Junior League Softball on Aug. 18, from Kirkland, Wash.

The Little League Baseball World Series championship game will culminate the television coverage of the 2012 International Tournament on Aug. 26 at 3 p.m. on ABC as the U.S. and International Champions meet to conclude the 16-team, 11-day tournament in South Williamsport, Pa.

This year, 21 games of the Little League Baseball World Series will air on ESPN 3D after 17 games of last year’s World Series aired on the same network in its first year of airing games in 3D. The games that will be televised on ESPN 3D also will air on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. All games of the World Series will be shown in high definition.
