In one month, NBC Sports will present live coverage of the 2021 Girls High School Lacrosse National Championship on Friday, July 2, at 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN from FSA Sports Complex in Farmington, Conn. The two-hour telecast will mark the first time that a high school girls lacrosse game will be nationally televised.
The Championship will be the culmination of the inaugural invitation-only, three-day tournament featuring 40 of the nation’s top high school girls lacrosse teams. Many players expected to compete in the tournament have committed to collegiate lacrosse programs at the Division I, II and III levels.
