The field for the 2025 NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse tournament will be announced on Sunday, May 4 (5/4/2025). The selection show will be broadcast on ESPNU and can be streamed live with fuboTV (free trial). Eighteen teams will receive bids to the tournament. Opening Round play begins on Wednesday, May 7, with the winners filling the final TBD slots in Round 1, which takes place next weekend on May 10 and 11. Play continues until the championships on May 24 and 26 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The question is, can anyone stop Notre Dame from winning three in a row? Cornell, Princeton and Maryland are all top contenders eager to dethrone the two-time defending champions, but can a longshot like the Syracuse Orange, who beat Duke on Friday to secure an NCAA bid, make waves this postseason? The 2025 NCAA men’s lacrosse tournament features an 18-team field, with 10 conference champions, some to be determined earlier in the day on Sunday, receiving automatic bids. Eight additional teamsenter the bracket via at-large bids.
