2025 MLR Season

2025 has brought a couple of changes for MLR. MLR has returned to the ESPN Networks. Every game will be on ESPN+, with ESPN TV Networks carrying select games. Local station broadcasts will also remain in affect.

Other changes for the 2025 season:
1) The Dallas Jackals have taken a leave for the season as they attempt to find new ownership.
