The National Lacrosse League (@NLL) today announced the television schedule and commentator team for the best-of-three 2024 NLL Finals presented by AXIA Time between the #3 seed Albany FireWolves and defending NLL champion and fourth-seeded Buffalo Bandits.
All NLL Finals games will be live on TSN and TSN+ in Canada, and available live via ESPN+ in the U.S. If necessary, Game 3 in Albany will be televised on ESPN2 and TSN on Saturday, May 25, 5 p.m. ET following the NCAA Men’s National Lacrosse Championship Semifinals.
The 2024 NLL Finals open on May 17, 7 p.m. ET at MVP Arena in Albany before the series moves to Buffalo on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. at KeyBank Center. Impressive semifinal round sweeps by the Bandits and FireWolves set up an outstanding championship series between the New York in-state rivals.
The production will include several notable features, including robotic cameras at strategic locations throughout the arena, as well as an on-floor depth-of-field camera, capturing unique angles to aid in the storytelling.
The Bandits have been to the past three NLL Finals, defeating the Colorado Mammoth last season for their first championship since 2008. Albany is looking to finish one of the best turnarounds in NLL history, advancing to the Finals with an 11-7 regular season record after finishing last at 3-15 a season ago.
