Premier Lacrosse League Launches Women’s Lacrosse League

The Premier Lacrosse League will launch the Women’s Lacrosse League at the 2025 PLL Championship Series, featuring four teams playing in the Olympic Sixes format.

The WLL is the PLL’s largest investment in women’s lacrosse to date. In 2020, the PLL created Unleashed, a women’s lacrosse content and training platform which has helped over 1,000 girls access coaching from professional players. WLL home cities and players will be announced at a later date.

“We’re proud to announce the launch of the Women’s Lacrosse League, a groundbreaking step forward for the sport, giving elite women athletes a premier stage to compete, inspire, and make their mark as we move toward lacrosse’s reemergence at the Olympics in 2028,” said Paul Rabil, co-founder and president of the Premier Lacrosse League. “We can’t wait to welcome fans to the first WLL games at the 2025 Championship Series.”

In 2024, the PLL hosted the Unleashed All-Star Game after international exhibitions in Japan over the last three years. Whirlpool, which came on as a PLL sponsor in 2024, will become the first founding partner of the WLL.

“We are filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Paul Rabil, Mike Rabil, Rachael DeCecco and the entire PLL organization for their endless hard work, dedication, and investment in the sport of professional lacrosse,” said Charlotte North, NCAA Champion and WLL Ambassador. “We are honored to be a part of the WLL, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this game to the fans in new ways than ever before. We firmly believe that this is the beginning of what will be a monumental movement in the game of professional women’s lacrosse and for female athletes around the globe.”
