Duke Lacrosse Lands Major ESPN Spotlight With Five Games This Spring

Duke men's lacrosse is set for major national exposure this spring as ESPN unveils a robust 2026 broadcast lineup.

Duke men’s lacrosse is set to take center stage this spring, with five of its games slated for national television coverage across the ESPN family of networks. It’s a strong spotlight for a program that continues to be one of the sport’s premier names, and fans won’t have to look far to catch the Blue Devils in action.

Kicking things off, Duke opens its televised slate on February 6 with a home matchup against Utah, airing at 5 p.m. ET on ACC Network. That game will be played on Freeman Field at Koskinen Stadium, where the Blue Devils will look to set the tone early in front of a national audience.

From there, the schedule picks up steam with a pair of marquee matchups in late March and early April. First up is a road trip to Syracuse on March 28, a 2 p.m. showdown that will air on ESPNU.

That’s followed by a heavyweight home clash against Virginia on April 4 at noon, back on ACC Network. Both games figure to have major implications in the ACC standings and could shape the postseason picture.

Duke’s final two televised games come in mid-April, starting with a home game against Notre Dame on April 13 at noon on ESPNU. That’s followed by a rivalry matchup on April 19 at North Carolina, also at noon on ESPNU. With the regular season winding down, those contests could carry significant weight in terms of seeding and momentum heading into the ACC tournament.

Throughout the season, fans can expect high-level commentary from a strong broadcast team. Analysts include lacrosse mainstays like Paul Carcaterra, Jules Heningburg, Quint Kessenich, and Matt Ward-each bringing deep knowledge and on-field experience to the booth. On play-by-play, the lineup features familiar voices such as Anish Shroff, Jay Alter, Drew Carter, Mike Corey, and Mark Dixon, ensuring each game is covered with the energy and insight fans have come to expect.

All home games will also be available via ACC Network or ACC Network Extra, and can be streamed through the ESPN app with a cable or approved streaming subscription.

For Duke fans and lacrosse followers alike, this spring offers a front-row seat to one of the nation’s top programs as they navigate a challenging ACC schedule. With national exposure and high-stakes matchups on deck, the Blue Devils are once again primed to be a major storyline in the college lacrosse landscape.
