The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are facing the No. 6 seed Syracuse Orange for a spot in the 2026 NCAA men's lacrosse championship game, with the Final 4 set to be played later today.
Notre Dame, the No. 2 seed, got a first-round bye and then beat Jacksonville 18-5 and Johns Hopkins 15-9 to get to the last weekend of the season. Syracuse also had a bye before beating Yale 16-15 and No. 3 North Carolina 13-11.
Notre Dame defenseman Shawn Lyght was named 2026 national defensive player of the year, but the excellence has been ongoing for the past few seasons. The Irish won back-to-back title in 2023 and 2024, and look to return to the podium on Monday.
The Fighting Irish won the regular-season match against Syracuse 16-11, giving plenty of hope that they’ll be playing for another title.
Notre Dame vs Syracuse will broadcast nationally on ESPN 2 in the Final Four of the 2026 NCAA championship. Anish Shroff and Paul Carcaterra will call the game from the booth at Scott Stadium, with Quint Kessenich and Dana Boyle reporting from the sidelines. Streaming options for the game include ESPN +, ESPN's subscription streaming service, and FUBO, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
The Notre Dame vs Syracuse game starts at 2:30 p.m. ET from Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, VA.
