There is no set time-line to return to action.

The NLL had initially suspended regular-season play on March 12 due to COVID-19 with hopes of still possibly salvaging the season.

The league will continue to look at possible scenarios in which return-to-play is determined to be both safe and “beneficial for all involved” once all stakeholders and health officials deem that possible, but “there is no timeline on when decisions will be made,” read a league statement.

“With three weekends left in the regular season and the uncertainty about resumption during that time, we decided it is in the best interests of our players, coaches, staff, partners and fans to remove any uncertainty,” said NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz in a release. “Our goal is to find the best, and safest, solution for resumption of play, but what that looks like, and when that occurs, cannot be determined today.”
