Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier outdoor lacrosse league in the world, will embark on its fifth season in The Palm Beaches. Florida’s only MLL team, the Florida Launch, will play its seven home games at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton.
Major League Lacrosse announced its 2018 season schedule. The Florida Launch will return to action after the franchise’s most successful season to date in 2017. Head coach Tom Mariano, led the Launch to the playoffs for the first time ever with an overall record of 8-6. The Launch’s home opener at FAU Stadium will take place on Saturday, April 28 at 7 PM, against the Chesapeake Bayhawks. After the home opener, the Launch’s home schedule features games with the Denver Outlaws, the Boston Cannons, the New York Lizards, the Dallas Rattlers, the Ohio Machine, and the Atlanta Blaze.
The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has been instrumental in bringing Major League Lacrosse and the Florida Launch to Palm Beach County and FAU Stadium. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission convinced the MLL to bring its All-Star Game to FAU Stadium in 2012 and the overwhelming success of the event prompted the league to return in 2013 with a regular season match between Hamilton and Rochester. The MLL established the Florida Launch in Palm Beach County in 2014.
MLL has continued to lead the sport of lacrosse into the mainstream of competitive team sports. The league is made up of eight teams: The Boston Cannons, Charlotte Hounds, Chesapeake Bayhawks, Bender Outlaws, Hamilton Nationals, Long Island Lizards, Ohio Machine and Rochester Rattlers.
