Major League Lacrosse announced that Atlanta, Georgia, will host the MLL All-Star game in 2020.

This will be the first time the MLL All-Star game is in Georgia. The Atlanta Blaze will host the event.

In 2019, the game will be hosted in Annapolis, Maryland, and the 2021 game will be in Denver, Colorado, celebrating the league’s 20th anniversary season.

“The future of Major League Lacrosse is bright and the expanding popularity of the league is exciting and noteworthy,” MLL Commissioner Alexander Brown said in a statement. “As MLL’s 20th anniversary approaches, we are proud to showcase our great sport and pay tribute to our history by taking the MLL All-Star Game to our growing fan base in Annapolis, Atlanta and Denver.”
