The Swarm's Home Opener is set for Saturday, Dec. 1 against the defending world champion Saskatchewan Rush. Faceoff between the last two NLL Finals winners is set for 7:05 p.m. ET from Harrah's Cherokee Casino Field at Infinite Energy Arena.

The Swarm's regular season consists of 18 games from December through late April. All nine Swarm home games will take place at Infinite Energy Arena and feature Free Parking.

The NLL has two new clubs entering competition in 2018-19, the Philadelphia Wings and San Diego Seals. Georgia will play both during the season, the Seals once at home (April 5) and the Wings at home (April 20) and away (Jan. 12).

"It's an exciting time in the National Lacrosse League right now with two expansion teams," Swarm Co-Owner and President Andy Arlotta said. "The level of play has never been higher, which is great for the growth of the league. Our expectations remain high yet again this season with a roster that was built to compete for world championships.

"We look forward to welcoming Swarm fans back to Sting City for a marquee matchup in our Home Opener against the defending world champs. Our organization is working hard this offseason to elevate our fan experience to another level for the 2018-19 season."

In 2017-18, the Swarm claimed its second-straight East Division Regular Season title after winning its final six games to finish the season at 11-7. Georgia ultimately fell 9-8 against the Rochester Knighthawks in the East Division Finals.

Lyle Thompson once again led the team in scoring, finishing with 86 points (46G, 40A) and leading the team in loose balls (123) and caused turnovers (21), as well. Thompson also received the NLL Sportsmanship Award and was named to the NLL All-Pro Second Team.
