++[ＷＡＴＣＨＬＩＶＥ]ＴＶ！] Ottawa Black Bears vs San Diego Seals LIVE STreams NCAA ON TV Channel

It has been a crazy start to the 2024-2025 NLL season. We typically have a good idea going into every year of which teams are going to be dominant and which teams are going to fall below the pack. As we enter 2025, the script has been flipped on its head in just a few weeks. I’ve been able to watch a good amount of games so far this year, and 2025 is ramping up to be one of the most exhilarating box lacrosse seasons in quite some time, just due to the parity across the league along with new powerhouses taking the place of ones that have fallen. Let’s take a look at some of the main takeaways from the NLL season so far as we head into the new year.

Buffalo Bandits Dominance

The Buffalo Bandits are doing Bandit things, starting the year 3-0 with a plus-26 goal differential. Despite winning back-to-back championships last year, the start of the regular season was a little rough for this crew, as they finished the regular season 11-7. The Bandits have come out and just steamrolled everyone in front of them, including a 15-7 win over the Rochester Nighthawks, an 18-7 win over the Ottawa Black Bears, and a 13-6 win over the Rochester Nighthawks again. Granted, these aren’t the toughest opponents in the world, but the Bandits are looking like a team that can certainly repeat titles in 2025.

Ottawa opens its return to the NLL with intra-Ontario clash versus Toronto with rare November start; two-time defending NLL champion Buffalo begins title defense on the road

Philadelphia (September 17, 2024) – The National Lacrosse League (NLL) today released its full 2024-25 regular-season schedule, including the return of pro lacrosse to Canada’s capital city for the first time since 2003.

The upcoming NLL season begins with an uncommon late November start for NLL Faceoff Weekend with 10 teams in action on U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, headlined by the Ottawa Black Bears’ first home game at Canadian Tire Centre against the visiting Toronto Rock.

The Philadelphia Wings and Brennan O’Neill, the top overall pick in the 2024 NLL Draft presented by Castore, head to San Diego to take on the Seals to end the opening slate.

Two-time defending NLL champion Buffalo Bandits will take its title defense on the road for two games – at Rochester on Saturday, December 7th and at Ottawa on Friday, December 13th before its home opener at KeyBank Center in downtown Buffalo versus Rochester on Saturday, December 28th.

With NLL-style sixes lacrosse returning to the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, demand for NLL games across the globe has helped fuel international media opportunities that will debut in select countries this season, including Czechia, Germany, and Great Britain, with more countries eyed for distribution as the NLL continues its quest to become “The Next Major League.”

The schedule announcement continues the NLL’s momentum leading into the new season, following the official in-market launch of NLL UnBOXedTM, the League’s grassroots youth participation and fan development initiative, and the introduction of Manchester, England-based Castore as the NLL’s exclusive on-floor performance apparel and uniform provider.

Training camps for NLL teams begin in late October across North America. The full training camp, preseason, broadcast, and streaming schedules will be unveiled soon.

The 2024-25 NLL regular-season schedule (all times ET):

• Friday, April 18, 2025 – Halifax at Toronto, 7pm; Calgary at Las Vegas, 10:30pm; Albany at San Diego, 10:30pm

• Saturday, April 19, 2025 – Toronto at Rochester, 6pm; Buffalo at Georgia, 7:30pm; Philadelphia at Vancouver, 8pm; Ottawa at Saskatchewan, 9pm; Colorado at Calgary, 9pm
