About 2024 NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championship

The march to the women’s lacrosse national championship game in Cary, North Carolina is on for the 29 squads still alive in the postseason. Action will begin around the country at 12 noon ET on Friday, May 10 as ESPN+ will broadcast every single game of the tournament. The first round will consist of 13 matchups, all taking place on Friday. The second round, which will involve the bracket’s top three seeds — No. 1 Northwestern, No. 2 Boston College, No. 3 Syracuse — will take place on Sunday, May 12.

The worldwide leader in sports’ cable channels will get in on the mix the following weekend as the quarterfinals and semifinals will kick off on ESPNU on Thursday, May 16 and Friday, May 24 respectively. Then, for the third straight season, the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship Game will air live on ESPN at 12 noon ET on Sunday, May 26.

While you can stream every second of the championship tournament on ESPN+, if you are looking for a live TV streaming service to watch the later rounds, The Streamable’s expert recommendation is Hulu + Live TV. Not only is the streamer one of the only two that offers ESPNU as part of its base package, but it is the only one that does so while providing customers with a free trial.

Also, as Hulu and ESPN are both owned by Disney, Hulu subscribers also get the Disney bundle at no additional cost, meaning that they receive the Hulu on-demand service, Disney+, and ESPN+ for free. So, there’s no excuse to miss any of the lacrosse postseason action, no matter how you want to watch.
