The National Lacrosse League announced their American broadcast schedule on ESPN today. A total of ten games will be featured on the sport media leader’s various traditional television networks, while every 2022-23 regular season game will be available to US-based fans online via ESPN+.
“Our expanded relationship with ESPN continues to provide added exposure for our teams and our athletes across all platforms, which will again help expose not just the NLL, but the sport of lacrosse to a larger audience of fans throughout the winter and spring,” said NLL Commissioner Brett Frood in today’s announcement.
Earlier this month, the league revealed their “NLL Game of the Week” schedule in Canada on TSN, which like the ESPN deal, will also broadcast every regular season contest on TSN.ca and the TSN app.
The league’s season-opening match between the Philadelphia Wings & Halifax Thunderbirds at the Scotiabank Centre in the heart of downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia will be available on the ESPNews network. The game will also be broadcast live across Canada on TSN.
