The National Lacrosse League today announced a television deal with Fox Sports World Canada, in which a division championship game and the NLL title game will be broadcast acrosse Canada.

The deal with FSW Canada -- which mainly airs soccer, rugby and Australian Rules football -- includes live coverage of the Western Division Final between Arizona and Colorado this Saturday (2:00 PM Eastern) and the 2006 RBK NLL Championship Game, on Saturday, 13 May (6:00 PM Eastern).

"We're delighted to be bringing this hard-hitting live lacrosse action to our audience," Tim Kist, FSW Canada's director of marketing, said. "Lacrosse is Canada's national summer sport, and we're excited to be the only network in the country with exclusive coverage for these cant-miss games."

NLL announced earlier this month that the championship game will be televised live on ESPN2, and the Arizona-Colorado game will air on Altitude, a Denver sports channel available nationally on DirecTV and Dish Network.
