The BNL league kicks of its 2024 season on March 9 with six teams now vying for the title. The championship final is slated for July 6.
This will be the third year for the league which encompasses the top teams from Belgium and the Netherlands. This season the BNL has expanded to six teams after the addition of the Brussels Tigers and Rotterdam 010 Trojans. The Ghent Gators have left the league after finishing the 2023 season with a dismal 0-8 record. The Tigers and Trojans will join the two-time defending champion Amsterdam Crusaders, Brussels Black Angels, Limburg Shotguns and Kasteel Nitros.
The Amsterdam Crusaders have won the past two BNL titles. In 2023 they defeated the Brussels Black Angels 17-7 in the championship game and in the 2021/2022 season, they downed the Limburg Shotguns 38-26 to win the title.
