The 2007 Denver Outlaws season was the second season for the Outlaws in Major League Lacrosse. Coming off of their first season in the league and losing in the championship, the Outlaws would finish with a 7–5 record and return to the playoffs for the second consecutive year. However, the Outlaws were unable to avenge themselves from the previous year's championship game and lost to the Philadelphia Barrage in the semifinal by the score of 13–12 in overtime.[1]
