2024 MLR Season
Once again Rugby Net will carry all non-nationally televised MLR matches and will be the archive location for EVERY MLR match, including those televised FOX.
Other changes for the 2024 season:
1) The New York Ironworkers and Toronto Arrows have folded due to financial problems.
2) We have two expansion teams- Welcome the Miami Sharks and Anthem Rugby Carolina! Anthem Rugby Carolina is being sponsored by Major League Rugby, USA Rugby, and World Rugby as a player development squad specifically aimed at stronger International competition, including the Olympics.
3) Rugby returns to Los Angeles as Rugby ATL has moved to Los Angeles and is now Rugby FC Los Angeles.
4) The Utah Warriors have dropped their radio broadcasts.
