Little League Age Eligibility - 2026 Season
Little League uses August 31 as the age cut-off date for all baseball divisions.
Your child’s “League Age” is how old they are on August 31, 2026 — this determines which division they play in.
T-Ball (Ages 5-6) - Born 2019-2021
8U Rookie (Ages 7-8) - Born 2017-2019
10U Minors (Ages 9-10) - Born 2015-2017
12U Majors (Ages 11-12) - Born 2013-2015
14U Juniors (Ages 13-14) - Born 2011-2013
16U Seniors (Ages 15-16) - Born 2009-2011
🧢 Example:
If your child turns 12 before August 31, 2026, they play in the Majors Division.
If they turn 12 after August 31, they’re considered League Age 11 and play in Minors.
