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.
2) Rugby Network will continue to be the archive home for MLR and will carry all matches internationally. However matches won't be made available stateside until 72 hours after the ESPN+ broadcast.
