The 2016 Major League Lacrosse season will be the 16th season of Major League Lacrosse. The season will feature at least 9 teams (all in the United States) after the addition of the Atlanta Blaze via expansion.[1] It will be the first time since 2008 that the league has had more than eight teams, yet it is still unclear whether the season will be expanded. The New York Lizards are coming off their third Steinfeld Cup victory in franchise history and first since 2003 after defeating the Rochester Rattlers 15-12 August 8, 2015 at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Georgia.[2]
