Cogeco YourTV Renews Broadcast Contract With Peterborough Lakers In Time For 2026 MSL Season

Cogeco’s YourTV and the Peterborough Century 21 Lakers renewed their long-standing broadcast partnership ahead of the 2026 Major Series Lacrosse season to air all of their home games.

Every home game will be broadcast live from the Peterborough Memorial Centre on Cogeco channels 10 and 700.

“Our partnership with the Lakers is more than just a broadcast agreement; it’s a shared commitment to the community,” said David Feeley, YourTV manager of programming and community relations. “In 2026, we believe that truly local television is the key to providing a top-quality product to the fans. By keeping the production local, we capture the nuances, the history, and the passion of the Lakers in a way that national networks simply cannot.”

“The relationship between the Lakers and YourTV is a strong one. Having a partner like Cogeco and YourTV allows us to extend the atmosphere of the Memorial Centre to those who can’t be in the stands,” said Len Powers, Lakers Board Member. “Their professional, local-first approach ensures our fans receive the high-calibre coverage this historic franchise deserves.”

Pete Dalliday and Scott Arnold are returning to the broadcast booth as the play-by-play and colour commentators, respectively, for this season.

The 2026 broadcast schedule starts with the Lakers’ home opener on May 21 against the defending-champion Six Nations Chiefs at 8 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.

This year’s broadcast coverage includes:

  • Live Game Coverage: Every regular-season home game

  • Extended Playoff Coverage: Exclusive access as the Lakers hunt for championship glory

  • Lakers Insider Segments: Behind-the-scenes interviews and player profiles throughout the season
