The Premier Lacrosse League’s (PLL) commitment to professional lacrosse is extending beyond men’s lacrosse with the launch of the Women’s Lacrosse League (WLL), president of the PLL, Paul Rabil, announced via ESPN’s Get Up on Nov 13.
Slated to debut at the PLL’s 2025 championship series in February, the league will feature four inaugural teams made up of the world’s top women’s lacrosse players. Team names and locations have yet to be announced.
The format for the games won’t be a typical 11-on-11, but rather a six-on-six competition. This format, commonly known as sixes, will also be used in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles where men’s and women’s lacrosse will make its first appearance in over 50 years.
