NLL Lacrosse

What’s more interesting? Nearly 60% of its fans are from non-lacrosse fan bases. More significantly, NLL fans are highly engaged and passionate. Almost 58% of NLL enthusiasts pinpoint their favorite teams as their all-inclusive favorite sports teams.
The National Lacrosse League opts for a digital-first strategy. As a result, every game is televised live on TSN Direct, ESPN+, NLL Social, TSN (Canada), and ESPN (U.S.). It’s estimated that NLL has had nearly 8,900 to 10,700 spectators every year in each game since 2004. So, why is NLL Lacrosse a must-see sport?
