Originally slated to play a ten-game regular season that was originally scheduled to begin play on May 30, Major League Lacrosse suspended the season until July 18 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The season was then rescheduled as a five–game regular season with all games including the postseason being played at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, home of the Chesapeake Bayhawks.[3] [4]
