Little League uses a player’s League Age (not school grade) to determine which divisions they are eligible to play in. For baseball, a player’s League Age for the 2026 season is based on their age on August 31, 2026.

How to determine your player’s League Age

You can determine your player’s League Age in either of the following ways:

• Use the official 2026 Baseball Age Chart to look up your player’s birth month and year.
• Visit Little League’s League Age Determination page and use the League Age Calculator.

Example: If your player was born on October 25, 2015, they will turn 10 years old by August 31, 2026. For the Spring 2026 season, their League Age is 10.

How League Age relates to divisions

League Age is one of the main factors used to place players into divisions (Tee Ball, Minor-B, Minor-A, Majors, Juniors, Seniors). Other factors, such as skill level and prior experience, may also be considered, especially for players moving up to a new division.

If you are unsure which division is appropriate for your player after checking their League Age, please contact the Player Agent at [email protected].
