This is a list of colleges and universities in the United States (and one school in Canada ) which sponsored a men's lacrosse team that belonged to the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association in 2015. Per MCLA rules, a University or College with fielding an NCAA Division I FBS football team must play at the Division I level. Any other school plays at the MCLA Division II level, but may petition to "play up" at the Division I level. Likewise, teams designated as Division I may petition to "play down" at the Division II level, if they are deemed a "developing" team, and are ineligible for post season play.
2019 changes
Before the 2019 MCLA season, there were many changes to conferences. The Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association and the Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League agreed to merge into the Continental Lacrosse Conference, while the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference merged with the Upper Midwest Lacrosse Conference and Lone Star Alliance.

Following the shortened 2020 season several SELC mid-Atlantic teams left to create the newest conference in the MCLA, the Atlantic Lacrosse Conference.
