This NLL schedule has the season starting and ending with 10pm games. It has a Thursday night game for the first time since 2009. Most importantly, it’s the first schedule with all the same teams since 1992.
But who has the easiest schedule? Or the hardest? Let’s go team by team.

The Knighthawks start out the season on the road at Washington to start out the entire NLL year. In week three they will host their first home game against their rival Buffalo Bandits.
In week four, they host another home game against the Toronto Rock. They have yet another home game in week five and they play Washington for the second time.
