Where was the 2026 Great Lakes regional tournament held for Little League World Series qualification?

The 2026 Great Lakes regional tournament was held in Whitestown, Indiana.

The tournament took place from August 8 through August 12 and determined the Great Lakes representative for the Little League World Series. West Side Little League of Hamilton, Ohio, won the region with a 4–0 record.

The location and the winning team are different facts. Whitestown was the tournament site, while Hamilton was the home city of the qualifying league. That distinction can cause confusion when regional tournaments are described by the city of the champion rather than the host location.

After reaching Williamsport, West Side Little League represented Great Lakes in the World Series. Great Lakes eventually reached the third-place game, where Japan defeated it 3–2.
