As is tradition for this annual occasion, Major Leaguers from both the Mets and Mariners will attend Little League World Series games earlier in the day on August 17th, demonstrating their commitment to helping grow the game at the youth level and engage with young fans. Later that evening, Little League World Series players and their families will fill Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field for the Little League Classic game.

The Little League Classic was launched in August 2017 between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets are making their second Little League Classic appearance, following up their 2018 match-up against the Philadelphia Phillies. The ensuing events included the Pirates and the Chicago Cubs in 2019, the Cleveland Guardians and Los Angeles Angels in 2021, the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox in 2022, the Washington Nationals and Phillies in 2023, and the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers in 2024.
