List of NCAA Division II lacrosse programs
This is a list of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) schools in the United States and Canada that play lacrosse as a varsity sport at the Division II level. In the 2022 NCAA lacrosse season, there are 75 men's and 116 women's Division II lacrosse programs.
Dates of addition or dropping of lacrosse, or changes in conference affiliation, reflect the time at which the change takes effect. Because NCAA lacrosse for both men and women is a spring sport, this will not match the first overall season of competition for new teams, or the first season of competition in a new conference. For teams departing Division II, the departure will take place after the completion of that year's lacrosse season.
Conference affiliations are current for the upcoming 2022 NCAA lacrosse season.
