Williamsport, PA – The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), wants to remind everyone of the rules prohibiting the use of drones during the 2026 Little League World Series.
Law enforcement has established a ‘No Drone Zone’ for the Little League World Series and accompanying events, with temporary flight restrictions (TFR) in place surrounding the festivities.
No drone flights are allowed within the immediate and surrounding vicinity for the duration of the Little League World Series and accompanying festivities. The TFRs extend a 1-nautical-mile from the host location and up to 1,000 feet above ground level.

Only specially authorized flights, such as for law enforcement, emergency response, or with FAA-approved waivers, are permitted. Before every flight, drone operators should check for active flight restrictions using an FAA-approved B4UFLY service provider.
The FBI works with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enforce TFRs, using federally authorized capabilities to detect, track, and assess unauthorized drone activity, with personnel from both agencies deployed full-time to identify drone activity that could threaten aviation safety, critical infrastructure, or public safety out or around event venues.
If you spot unsafe drone activity, you can report it to 911, on-site law enforcement, or to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI.
