Yes, you can follow pro lacrosse without spoilers: HideScore never prints a score, for the Premier Lacrosse League or the National Lacrosse League.
Lacrosse is fast and high scoring, and most games are decided by a run of goals late in the fourth quarter. That is exactly what a score in a notification, a headline or a group chat gives away. If you watch on replay after work, the result usually finds you first.
Add the PLL or the NLL as a column and each game shows the two teams, the start time in Eastern and a finished flag. The result is never written on the card. Turn Ratings on in Settings and a finished game also carries a word for how close or dramatic it was, without naming a winner.
Both leagues are opt-in, so nothing changes on your board until you add one.
The PLL: field lacrosse in the summer
The Premier Lacrosse League plays field lacrosse with eight teams. In 2026 its year started with the Championship Series, a sixes tournament from February 27 to March 8, then the main season from May 8 to September 20. Most fans watch on TV or on replay, often hours after the final whistle. The column follows both parts of the year and shows the next start date in between.
The NLL: box lacrosse in the winter
The National Lacrosse League plays indoor box lacrosse with teams in the US and Canada. Its season runs from late November to May, so it fills the months the PLL is off. The 2026-27 season starts on Saturday, November 28, 2026. Most games start between 6 and 10 pm Eastern, so a West Coast game ends after midnight on the East Coast and the result is waiting when you wake up.
Playoff rounds without who advanced
In both leagues the semifinal and final pairings are decided by the round before, so reading who plays in the final tells you who won the semifinals. HideScore shows those games with their round, such as Semifinals or Championship, and a Show teams button instead of the two names. The quarterfinals are seeded from the standings, so they show as normal. The NLL semifinals and Finals are best of three, and no card ever shows a series score.
Major League Lacrosse lives on in the PLL
Major League Lacrosse ran from 2001 to 2020 and merged into the PLL in December 2020. The Boston Cannons and the Denver Outlaws carried their MLL names into the PLL, and both are still playing. If you came here looking for the MLL, add the PLL column.
Ratings that never name a winner
Lacrosse goals come one at a time, and a typical pro game has about twenty to twenty-five of them. The rating reads each game the same way it reads every other sport: how close it was entering the fourth quarter, how close at the end, whether one team came back, and whether it went to sudden-death overtime. It is shown as a word such as Great or Good, never as a margin.
PLL highlights by week, NLL not yet
HideScore only shows a highlight button when it can find the right clip for that exact game every time. The PLL's own channel posts a cut of every game, titled by week and not by date, and the same two teams meet two or three times a season. So each PLL game asks for its own week, or its playoff round, and a cut from any other week is refused. Checked against every 2026 PLL game, that found the right cut each time and never a wrong one. The NLL's titles do not say highlights at all, so the NLL stays without a button until a full season of checks finds no mistakes.
Open HideScore. No score is printed on the board.
Open lacrosse without spoilersFrequently asked questions
Can I follow pro lacrosse without spoilers?
Yes. Add the PLL or the NLL as a column and each game shows the two teams, the start time in Eastern, and whether it has finished, never the score. Playoff games show their round and hide who advanced until you tap to see the teams.
What happened to Major League Lacrosse?
Major League Lacrosse played its last season in 2020. In December 2020 it merged into the Premier Lacrosse League, which kept two MLL club names, the Boston Cannons and the Denver Outlaws. If you followed the MLL, the PLL is the league to add.
When does the PLL season start?
The PLL year has two parts. The Championship Series, a short sixes tournament, ran from February 27 to March 8 in 2026. The main season ran from May 8 to the Championship on September 20. Both columns stay in Settings all year, with the next start date shown in the offseason.
When does the 2026-27 NLL season start?
Saturday, November 28, 2026. The NLL plays indoor box lacrosse through the winter, with the playoffs in late April and May. The 2026 Finals ended on May 17.
Is there a highlight button for lacrosse?
For the PLL, yes. The PLL posts a cut of every game on its own channel, titled by week and not by date, and the same two teams meet two or three times a season. HideScore asks for that game's week, or its playoff round, so a rematch never fills the slot. Championship Series and All-Star games have no button. The NLL has no button yet, because its titles do not say highlights at all. A wrong clip is a spoiler, so no button is the safe answer there.
Where can I watch the PLL and NLL live in the US?
ESPN holds the US rights to both leagues. In 2026 most PLL games streamed on ESPN+, with some on ESPN2 and the Championship on ABC. NLL games stream on ESPN+ in the US. The watch link on each card opens ESPN's watch page, not a scores page.
Is HideScore free?
Yes. HideScore is free on the web and in the iPhone and Android apps, and it works without an account. Signing in only syncs your columns and settings across devices.
