(Poorly) Predicting 2026

The CBA is messy, the future is unclear, and we’re making it up as we go.

Neil and Brandon break down the latest on the NLL CBA talks before diving into some WAY too early 2026 predictions for the PLL and WLL. From MVP chatter to championship picks, player contracts, and injury concerns, nothing is off the table. The guys also step into the role of “Lacrosse Czar” for a day, debating rule changes, the two-point line in college, and how to restructure the lacrosse calendar to grow the game.

The Run Out is a lacrosse podcast with sharp takes, real talk, and full coverage of the game.
