LACROSSE MATCHES

NATIONAL LACROSSE LEAGUE

The NLL has fifteen teams divided between the East and West divisions. Ten of these teams come from the US and five from Canada, which gives plenty of room for fans to find their favorite Lacrosse teams and rosters. Even though the NLL is a relatively young sports organization, having existed since 1987, it has earned itself a phenomenal record of stunning indoor sports action.

On average, NLL games are attended by anywhere from 8,900 to 10,700 spectators, making it one of the most popular indoor sports leagues in the world. In fact, the league is third for average attendance for indoor sports, behind only the NHL and NBA. The league is also dedicated to providing hot athletics action every year, with annual seasons and tournament seasons except for the 2021 season, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Speaking of seasons, the NLL currently has each team play 18 games split evenly between home and away matches. Games are typically played Friday - Sunday with some weekends seeing certain teams playing twice. This regular season schedule begins in December and ends in April, with post season play happening throughout June.

The NLL began life after the rebirth of major professional lacrosse in the US on March 13, 1986. The Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League (EPBLL) was formed. The league opened play for the 1987 season with two games on January 10, 1987. This lead to the the four teams in the league playing a six-game regular season, before a postseason which saw all four teams play in a single knockout tournament that ended with the Baltimore Thunder becoming the league’s first champion after defeating the Washington Wave 11-10.
