LEXINGTON, Va. — Washington and Lee University is set to host the final rounds of the 2024 NCAA Division III Field Hockey Championship at W&L Turf Field from November 22-24. This event marks the fourth time W&L has had the honor of hosting the national championship for Division III field hockey, having previously hosted in 2005, 2014, and 2015.

W&L is proud to once again bring the nation's top Division III field hockey teams and fans to Lexington, showcasing not only exceptional field hockey but the campus and scenic Blue Ridge Mountains.
The 2024 championship weekend will include two semifinal matches on Friday (noon and 3 p.m.) and the national championship game at 1 p.m. on Sunday, providing a thrilling experience for student-athletes, fans, and the local community. Washington and Lee looks forward to celebrating this championship event and continuing its tradition of excellence in collegiate athletics.
