Major League Lacrosse to open season May 31

Major League Lacrosse announced its 2019 regular-season schedule, opening during the weekend of May 31-June 2, that includes a five game slate highlighted by the defending champion Denver Outlaws facing the New York Lizards. The Chesapeake Bayhawks open the season by hosting the Atlanta Blaze on June 2 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The schedule includes many changes advocated for by the league’s players, including a season start date after Memorial Day and an emphasis on playing weekend games.
