Eight days after they faced off to open Little League World Series play, Curacao and Japan meet again Saturday with much  higher stakes.

A berth in the 2026 LLWS championship game will be on the line in the International bracket final, where Japan will try to get a bit of payback from a 6-0 opening loss and hand Curacao its first defeat of the tournament.

While Curacao has allowed three total runs in going 3-0 in Williamsport, Japan has strung together close games and blowouts in working its way through the loser's bracket to get here.

Will Curacao make it back to the final for the fourth time in seven tournaments, or will Japan get back to the championship game for the first time since winning it all in 2017?

Here's all you need to know to tune in Saturday.
