2024 NLL season

Sports season

The 2024 National Lacrosse League season, formally known as the 2023–2024 season, is the 37th in the history of the NLL. The season began on December 1, 2023, and ends with the NLL final in May 2024. The league also announced a new standings and schedule format. The teams are no longer separated into 2 conferences, and will now play within the same standings. Everyone will play each other at least once, with 4 flex games. The top 8 will face each other in the playoffs.^[4]

Quick Facts League, Sport ...

On November 16, the NLL announced the NLL unBOXed Series, a new series of games designed to activate their unBOXed markets. The first game in the series took place on February 16, 2024 at the Place Bell, in Laval, Quebec between the Toronto Rock and the New York Riptide. The game was designed to activate the Quebec market and was the first NLL game for that market since 2002, when the Montreal Express folded.^[5]

On February 21, the NLL announced that the New York Riptide would relocate to Ottawa, and will be renamed the Ottawa Black Bears.^[6]
