On January 22, 2026, Lacrosse Canada announced that the rules for box lacrosse would be changing. The new rules of box lacrosse in Canada will be the World Lacrosse Rules of Play with certain Age and Stage of Play Modifications set out by Lacrosse Canada. The new rules themselves were supplemented by a Playbook session hosted by representatives of Lacrosse Canada on January 25, 2026.
The ALA Board has met and considered some changes to its Regulations to implement the new rules. An ad hoc committee has been struck to consider further, more detailed changes in a few areas. Final revised regulations implementing the new rules are expected to be released by March 1, 2026.
The new rules represent a unified approach to ensuring that the same rules of box lacrosse are played across Canada, so that players, coaches, and officials have the same expectations for how the game is played in every province. The ALA is working on resources to explain the differences between the prior and new rules, so be on the lookout for announcements of additional learning opportunities about these changes.
