* Clinched a berth in the Patriot League Championship
! Clinched division title

Patriot League men’s lacrosse will consist of one five-team division and one four-team division while women’s lacrosse will consist of two five-team divisions in 2021. The top-two teams in both the North and South Division will qualify for the Patriot League Men’s and Women’s Championship fields. The first game played against a divisional opponent counts toward the divisional standings. Additional games against the same divisional opponent would count toward the overall League winning percentage, which could be utilized for tiebreaking purposes.

Each divisional winner will earn a spot in the tournament. The divisional winner with the best overall winning percentage will receive the No. 1 seed, with the second-best winning percentage of the divisional winners receiving the No. 2 seed. The second-place team in each division will also earn a spot in the tournament with the second-place team with the best winning percentage earning the No. 3 seed and the remaining team receiving the No. 4 seed. In the event of ties among the divisional winners or second-place teams see NOTE C below.
