Aspiring baseball stars will get a chance to see the pros play on their turf tonight, as the Atlanta Braves face off against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 MLB Little League Classic.

Part of the MLB Players’ Weekend, the one-night-only game features big leaguers from the Braves and Brewers playing in Williamsport, PA., home of the current Little League Baseball World Series .

The ninth annual MLB Little League Classic takes place tonight, Sunday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT at Journey Bank Ballpark inside Historic Bowman Field. The major league game airs on ESPN so you can watch the Braves vs. Brewers Little League Classic on TV with any cable package that includes the sports network.

A simulcast will air on ESPN2 called the “Alumni-cast.” According to MLB , that broadcast will include “special guests and commentators who have participated in the Little League World Series, such as former Major Leaguers Todd Frazier and Devon Travis.”

Don’t have cable? There are also a few ways to find a Little League Classic livestream online.

We’ve found three options to watch the 2026 Little League Classic game online without cable, including ways to stream the baseball game for free.

DirecTV is a live streaming service that lets you watch live television channels over the internet, without needing a cable box or antenna. DirecTV carries ESPN on most its packages, including all of its Signature Packages and its MySports Genre Pack. All of these packages start with a five-day free trial that you can use to watch the Little League Classic online free.

Pricing starts at $49.99/month for the MySports Genre Pack (regularly $64.99/month). Grab your free trial here and then choose to continue or cancel after your five days are up.

I’ve personally been using Fubo to watch live TV online for the last three years, and the streamer also carries ESPN for an MLB Little League Classic livestream. Packages start at $64.99 a month, but you’ll get a five-day free trial and up to $30 off your first month with current site promotions.

Fubo’s free trial includes DVR so you can record tonight’s game to watch back on-demand later if you can’t catch the live airing.

Little League World Series games can also be streamed on Sling, using their $19.99 Essentials plan. The plan includes ESPN and 10+ other channels that you can watch online without cable. Sling doesn’t offer a free trial but its plans are some of the most affordable streaming options on the market right now.

You can pick up official Little League Classic merch online at Fanatics.com . The site has jerseys and hats for both the Braves and Brewers, with the MLB Little League Classic logo embroidered on each item. See all the available merch here .

Tonight’s Braves vs. Brewers game takes place in the middle of the 2026 Little League World Series, which runs until Aug. 30.
