Knighthawks Announce 2023-24 Schedule

September 26, 2023 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
Rochester Knighthawks News Release


(Rochester, NY) - The Rochester Knighthawks announced today their schedule for the 2023-24 National Lacrosse League regular season.

The Knighthawks, who will again play an 18-game season (nine home, nine away), are slated to open their fourth NLL campaign at home on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7:00 p.m. when they host the Calgary Roughnecks at Segar & Sciortino Field at The Blue Cross Arena as part of the league's Face Off Weekend.

Earlier today, the NLL unveiled a significant change to the League's regular season format and playoff structure in which all 15 members clubs are ranked regardless of geography, allowing the preservation of established rivalries and the ability to showcase its continental reach across North America. For the third consecutive year, every NLL game will be distributed on ESPN+ and TSN+.

Under the league's new unified standings format, the Knighthawks will play each of the other 14 teams at least once but will have a pair of meetings (one home, one road) against the Albany FireWolves, Buffalo Bandits, Georgia Swarm and Halifax Thunderbirds.

After opening the season with four straight games against western opponents, including a pre-Christmas Eve matchup against Vancouver on Dec. 23, the Knighthawks will open the New Year by hosting the defending NLL champion Bandits in Rochester on Jan. 13.

Rochester's 2023-24 campaign also features a home-and-home series against Albany in March in-between trips to Fort Worth and Denver to open and the close month, respectively.

The Knighthawks will play three of their final five games at home, ending with the season finale against Philadelphia on Sunday, April 21, one of two afternoon matinees on the docket this season. The final weekend also sees the team in action twice over a three-day span.

Rochester never plays more than two consecutive games on the road this season but will again see a stretch in March where the team will play three of its five games during the month on the road.

The team's longest homestand of the season is also two games, beginning with a back-to-back stretch in February with matchups against Georgia on Saturday, Feb. 10 and Las Vegas on Saturday, Feb. 24. Rochester is then home again for consecutive weeks against Halifax on Saturday, March 30 and New York on Saturday, April 6.

The Knighthawks will play all but one of their nine home games on Saturday nights except for their final matchup of the year against Philadelphia on Sunday, April 21. All contests will start at 7:00 p.m. excluding the season finale, which will have a 3:00 p.m. start time.

The team's busiest month of the season is March which features a season-high five games.

The on-sale date for all Knighthawks single-game tickets will be announced in the coming weeks. Season Tickets for the Knighthawks for the 2023-24 season are on sale now and start as low as $19 per seat per game depending on seat location.
