For devoted fans, streaming gives access to watch multiple out-of-market games in one weekend. Read on for tips and information on streaming NCAA lacrosse games this upcoming season.
Check Your TV Streaming Service
If you already subscribe to a live TV streaming service, there’s a good chance you can access live lacrosse games. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and FuboTV carry major sports channels that air college lacrosse like ESPN, CBS Sports Network, Big Ten Network and ACC Network.

Or check out services like LAX Sports Network and The Ivy League Network for coverage focused on those conferences.
Consider Single Game Passes
If you just want to watch certain big rivalry games or follow a specific team, consider purchasing single game passes. Channels like ESPN and the ACC Network offer individual games for purchase via their website or mobile apps. Just search for the matchup you want and buy a pass to access the stream.
Use a TV Antenna for Local Games
Another free option is using a digital TV antenna to access live over-the-air broadcasts. Major networks like ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox air select lacrosse games. An antenna lets you watch these matchups for free in your local market. Visit AntennaWeb.org to check which broadcast channels are available in your area.
Find Games on Regional Sports Networks
Regional sports networks (RSNs) focused on specific geographic areas often provide coverage of local college lacrosse teams. Networks like MASN, Spectrum Sports, Altitude Sports, and NESN may offer live lacrosse streams in their respective markets. Check their website or TV listings for availability.

Use Multiple Devices
One of the perks of streaming is the ability to watch games across laptops, smartphones, tablets, connected TVs and other internet-enabled devices. Take advantage and watch on multiple screens – keep one game on your phone and another on your TV.

Upgrade Your Internet Package
Live sports streaming requires a fast, reliable internet connection. Contact your internet provider about upgrading your broadband package to boost streaming speeds. Or consider switching providers to access faster options like fiber-optic internet.
Use a Streaming Device

Check Streaming Service Trials
Try out streaming services like fuboTV, ESPN+, or team-specific packages by signing up for free trials. Test different options over a weekend of games. Just remember to cancel by the trial end date if you don’t want to continue the paid subscription.
Split Costs with Fellow Fans
Split the costs of a streaming package by sharing login info with other lacrosse fans. Take turns paying for a subscription or go in on it together. This can help reduce the costs for access to tons of games.
Search Twitter and Reddit for Stream Links
Diehard fans often share free live stream links on sites like Twitter and Reddit. Search lacrosse terms and usernames before games to find posted streams. Use caution with unofficial links and beware of spam.
