ESPN will offer more than 250 men’s college lacrosse games from seven conferences across ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network (ACCN), ESPN3, ESPN+ and ACCNX for the 2022 season, which begins Friday, Feb. 4.

Throughout the season, ESPNU will air 26 matchups featuring teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Ivy League, and the MAAC, as well as Johns Hopkins.
On Saturday, May 7, ESPN2 will spotlight top-5 ACC teams as No. 3 Duke faces No. 5 Notre Dame at noon — one of 20 games between preseason-ranked teams on ESPN networks during the regular season.
