MLR 2026 Week 1 Match Thread
The MLR 2026 season kicks off this weekend with the California Legion hosting Anthem RC tomorrow (March 28th) at 6 PM Eastern. Both teams have had significant turnover since 2025, as have the rest of the league, so it'll be interesting to see which teams find cohesion faster.

Great determination by Houston to put that one away!
well, Legion aren't dead yet!
Mooneyham is having a good game.
The 2026 season is under way!
Legion really need to find a try here.
there we go!
I don't think a turnover was the right thing to do there.
Anthem really should have had the turnover there. Good effort by Legion to recover it.
Anthem really not letting up here! Pretty commanding lead going into the final 15 my minutes.
Huge win for Anthem today! Good for them!
quite a few cards issued at the end of the half!
