TOP STORY
1. UVA Will Host ‘26 Men’s Championship

“The 2026 NCAA Division I, II and III Men's Lacrosse Championships will be held in Charlottesville, Virginia, at the Carl Smith Center, home of David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium on the campus of the University of Virginia.

The Division I semifinals will be played May 23, with the championship game May 25. The Division II and III championship games will be played May 24.

Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, was originally scheduled to host the 2026 NCAA men's lacrosse championships. However, a scheduling conflict occurred when the facility was named as one of the sites for the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup, prompting the venue change.”

» Field Awareness. “Scott Stadium, which seats more than 60,000 fans, will be the first campus stadium to be the finals site of the Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship since 2002, when Rutgers hosted the event.”

» What They’re Saying. “This is a tremendous opportunity, as fans from across the country will experience Charlottesville as the host of the national semifinals and the national championship game. We thank Virginia for their strong bid to host, and the committee looks forward to collaborating closely to make this a memorable event for everyone involved,” said Matt Colagiovanni, committee chair and deputy athletics director at Rutgers.

» Quotable. "We extend our gratitude to the NCAA and the Division I Men's Lacrosse Committee for entrusting us with the opportunity to host championship weekend," Virginia Director of Athletics Carla Williams said. "We have great respect for the history and tradition of this iconic event, and UVA is honored to welcome the entire community of lacrosse to Charlottesville."
