Another busy week in the NLL with seven games, though not much really changed. The Bandits are still perfect, the Rock, Knighthawks, and Thunderbirds continue their climb back into the playoff race, the Swarm and Rush continue their strong seasons, and the Black Bears are still having trouble scoring.

2025 NLL Week 7
An incredible week of games starting with one of the best rivalries in the game, despite the results in recent years (Buffalo has won 11 of the past 12 matchups with the Rock since 2022). As I mention below, every game was a comeback to some extent but some were significant comebacks. Halifax/Rochester was as close as a game can be, to the point where we still don’t really know who won it.
2025 NLL Week 6
A light but impactful week in the NLL. There were only three games but one of them got rid of one of the two remaining winless teams (Las Vegas, only Toronto remans), another got rid of one of the two remaining undefeated teams (Georgia, only Buffalo remains), and the third set or tied a handful of NLL records.
2025 NLL Week 3
Wow, what a week in the NLL! Close games, overtime, blowouts, records set and reset, milestones hit… so much awesome. There’s a lot to get to so here we go.
2025 NLL Week 2
Week 2 is in the books, and now every team has played at least one game. Of the top eight teams in the standings right now, four of them did not make the playoffs last year, including the team at the very top. In fact, the Mammoth went from last in 2024 to first, while the Rock went from #1 in 2024 to last place this year. Yes, it’s only been two games for some teams (and only one for most) so it doesn’t mean much but it’s still surprising.
2025 NLL Preview: Part I
As I do most seasons (missed last year), here’s a quick look at each team, where I think each team will end up, and who might have a breakout year. I’ll go alphabetically and cover Albany through Las Vegas in this article, and then Ottawa through Vancouver in Part II.
For where teams will end up, I’m not going to make specific predictions here. I’ll break things up into groups: Top 4, Middle 4 (i.e. #5-8), and Miss Playoffs (#9-14).
NLL 2025: Who’s in, who’s out
Here it is: a complete summary of all the roster changes for each team, all in one place. I will update this article as things change, up until the beginning of the season.
Just to be clear, “In” means that the player is part of the announced roster for the 2025 season and was not on the active roster during the team’s last game of the season in 2024. “Out” means just the opposite: they were on the roster for the last game last year, but are not on the active roster as of now. So a player who was injured since (or during) the last game last year but is back now is “In”, while a player who is currently injured might be “Out”.
Not all teams have announced who’s on their IR, PUP, or holdout lists so take an empty list with a grain of salt. Also most teams don’t have (or didn’t announce) a Protected or Draft list, but the Rush did.
NLL Roster announcements
Today I’m not going to rank the rosters themselves, just the announcements of the rosters. Every team announced their rosters on Monday, but most of them just threw a list out there while others went a little further and made it fun. Other than Calgary’s video game thing, the announcements were pretty tame this year. Nobody eating hot wings or anything; in fact, only Calgary and Toronto had videos at all.
2024 NLL Playoff report – Quarterfinals
Typically in the playoffs we see lots of excitement, lots of jubilation, and lots of heartbreak. The first weekend of the 2024 NLL playoffs delivered on all counts. I mean, it would be nice to see less heartbreak, but every team worked extremely hard over the last five months to get to the playoffs and since half of the teams are going to see their season end in the first round, heartbreak is not really something that can be avoided.
2024 NLL Week 19
There were nine games this past weekend and every game had playoff implications for one or both teams playing and in some cases, a couple of other teams as well. That, by itself, is the first Awesome of the week. But there’s more!
