Universal Sports To Broadcast MLL Games

Post by Fran » Mon May 03, 2010 3:58 pm

Mostly taped games, a decent amount of live games and the MLL Draft which could be interesting to watch. Also the MLL semifinal.

Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, and Universal Sports, the preeminent multiplatform destination for Olympic-related sports programming, today announced a partnership that will bring the best lacrosse in the world to the network for the 2010 season. Universal Sports first televised an MLL semifinal game in August 2009.

Universal Sports will broadcast 34 Major League Lacrosse games during the 2010 season, beginning on May 17, just two days after MLL kicks-off its 10th season. In addition to the regular season schedule, Universal Sports will also televise the Warrior Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft, LIVE from Yale University, on Sunday, June 6, at 7 p.m. ET. Also, as part of the 2010 Major League Lacrosse Championship Weekend Presented by Warrior, Universal Sports will air semi-final Game No. 2 LIVE on Saturday, August 21, at 3 p.m. ET.

"We are ecstatic about our partnership with Universal Sports, now allowing us to show every regular season game to a television audience, a true first for MLL fans," says MLL Commissioner David Gross. "Between Universal Sports, our other broadcast partners and web streaming, we feel that this allows us a tremendous opportunity to spread both the MLL brand and the sport of lacrosse to fans of the sport everywhere. Universal Sports has become a strong presence in a short period of time. In just two years of operation, they have made tremendous market penetration and continue to expand their reach."

The 2010 Universal Sports broadcast schedule kicks-off on May 17, at 6:30 p.m. ET, with a replay of the Denver at Boston game. The first live televised game is on Sunday, May 30, at 4 p.m. ET, when Chesapeake takes on Chicago in Pittsburgh.
