The Premier Lacrosse League announced Wednesday it is launching a women’s professional league in 2025.
Four teams in yet-to-be-announced cities will compete in the Women’s Lacrosse League.
The action will begin in February with a two-week tournament called the Championship Series.
PLL president Paul Rabil told Front Office Sports that the four host cities will likely overlap with the eight current PLL locales: Albany, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Denver, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and San Diego.
PLL partner ESPN will broadcast WLL games, Rabil said.
Rules designed to speed up the game and make it more appealing for fans include playing a six-on-six format with shorter shot clocks.
Several players have already signed on, including a pair of two-time NCAA players of the year: Charlotte North of Boston College and Izzy Scane of Northwestern.
