LAS VEGAS - The Las Vegas Desert Dogs (1-1) are back on the road after securing their first win of the season during their Home Opener last Saturday. The Dogs turn their attention this week to the Toronto Rock, who they beat in overtime during their last meeting, 14-13, on April 6, 2025. Both teams enter the matchup fresh off wins at home, and look to extend their winning streak to two straight games.

A DUB IN THE DEN FOR VEGAS

The Dogs are riding the high off a thrilling 10-9 Home Opener win over the Ottawa Black Bears on Saturday at Penta Field inside Lee's Family Forum.
