The 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship is the scheduled 55th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national championship for NCAA Division I men's college lacrosse. The semifinals and final will be hosted by University of Virginia at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia [1] . The site of the semifinal and final was changed due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup being hosted in part at Gillette Stadium, who was the initial host of the NCAA Lacrosse Championships.
Eighteen (18) teams will compete in a tournament based upon their performance during the regular season. For ten (10) conferences, entry into the tournament will be by means of a conference tournament automatic qualifier, while the remaining eight (8) teams, at-large selection are to be determined by the NCAA selection committee.
