Can anyone prevent a Notre Dame three-peat in the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament?
The Fighting Irish have won the last two national championships under Kevin Corrigan, the longest-tenured active coach in Division I men's lacrosse. Notre Dame has looked vulnerable, though, losing the same number of games during the 2025 regular season (three) as the previous two seasons combined.
First-round opponent Ohio State will be the first to attempt to knock Notre Dame off its throne, with top seeds Cornell, Maryland and Princeton also liking their title chances. The Terrapins in particular are seeking revenge after falling to the Fighting Irish in last year's national championship game.
Here is everything you need to know about the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament, including a full schedule with TV and streaming options for each game.
