The Little League World Series kicked off Thursday with the first four games of the series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Games are scheduled nearly every day through the end of the series and they'll be broadcast on several channels. ESPN will have many of the games, but some of the games with a wider audience and the more popular games like the final will be on ABC.

Anyone with cable can watch the more than 30 games scheduled for the series on either of the channels broadcasting it. Those without cable will have a more difficult time watching all of the games.

The Little League World Series website has the schedule of every game, as well as what channel each game will be broadcast on. That schedule is available online.

For those with cable, they just need to tune in to the right channel at the time of the game. Those without cable might need to get more creative.

Access to a cable login will give anyone who wants to watch a way to stream the games online through the ABC or ESPN website or app for Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV stick and other streaming devices.

For those who don't have cable or a login to use for the day of the game they want to watch, they can sign up for a free trial of one of the cable streaming services.

There are a few options for trials to sign up for.

Hulu TV Live is one option for a provider. Hulu is currently offering new customers one month free when they sign up for the TV service. Users just need to remember to cancel the subscription after their free month is up. Hulu Live includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ABC.

YouTube TV also has the channels anyone would need to watch the series. YouTube TV is also offering new users a free one-month trial that they won't be charged for unless they forget to cancel before their next month. ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC are all included in the subscription.

Sling TV is also offering a free trial to new customers for one week, after that the service is $25 per month. The offer includes ESPN and ESPN2.

Games were continuing Friday starting at 2 p.m. EDT and will take place every two hours until the fourth game of the day starts at 8 p.m. EDT.
