On Saturday, reigning MLL Defensive Player of the Year Liam Byrnes and the Philadelphia Barrage will take on 2019 MLL Champion, the Chesapeake Bayhawks and new additions Luke Anderson and Zachary Melillo. Marquette's all-time scoring leader Ryan McNamara will also lead the Connecticut Hammerheads against the Denver Outlaws.
Each MLL team will play five games during the week before the tournament semifinals begin on Saturday, July 25. The championship contest will be held on Sunday, July 26 and all MLL games will air on the ESPN Family of Networks or ESPN+.
The PLL season begins with assistant coach Jacob Richard and Atlas LC taking on brother Noah Richard and former teammate B.J. Grill with the Waterdogs LC. That contest will occur on Sunday, July 26 at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah, the home of Real Salt Lake.
PLL group play will continue until the Tuesday, Aug. 4 elimination rounds, featuring the 2-7 seeded teams. The semifinals and championship are slated for Aug. 6 and Aug. 9, respectively. All PLL games will appear on NBC, NBC Sports Network or NBC Sports Gold.
