Bandits Announce Partnership With CW23

14 games will be aired on CW23

The Buffalo Bandits and WNLO-TV (“CW23”) have announced an agreement that will enable CW23 to air 14 Buffalo Bandits professional lacrosse games during the 2023-24 regular season of the National Lacrosse League (“NLL”) across the Buffalo and Southern Ontario region.

The first of the 14 games will air at 7 p.m. ET on December 9, when the Bandits open the season against the Albany Firewolves. CW23 broadcasts will also include “Banner Raising Night” on December 16 against the San Diego Seals, and a rivalry game against the Colorado Mammoth on January 6.

“Our organization is thrilled to partner with CW23 to televise Bandits’ games in the Buffalo area, as it allows us to reach a larger audience in our region, and continues our commitment to growing the sport of lacrosse,” said Bandits Head Coach John Tavares. “We are very thankful for the support of CW23, and we look forward to delivering a great television product not only to our already dedicated fanbase, but also to those who will be introduced to Bandits lacrosse as a result of this partnership.”

“Last year’s broadcast of the NLL championship game featuring the Bandits was such as success that we couldn’t wait to bring more Bandits games to viewers in Buffalo and the surrounding area,” said CW23 Vice President and General Manager Joe Abouzeid said. “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with the Bandits.”

The 14 games will be aired on CW23 across the Buffalo and Southern Ontario area.
