2026 PLL and WLL Lexus Championship Series Exclusively on ESPN+ Feb. 27-Mar. 8
- Annual event includes Women’s Lacrosse League games
- All 16 games will stream on ESPN+ on the ESPN App on mobile and connected TV devices
ESPN+ will exclusively showcase the 2026 PLL and WLL Lexus Championship Series beginning Friday, Feb. 27 and running through Sunday, Mar. 8. The eight-team tournament, which spans seven days across two weekends, also features the Women’s Lacrosse League (WLL) and will be played at The St. James just outside of Washington, D.C.
The top four PLL teams from the 2025 regular season – New York Atlas, Denver Outlaws, California Redwoods and Carolina Chaos – and the WLL teams – Boston Guard, New York Charging, Maryland Charm and California Palms – will each compete in round-robin, six-on-six tournaments inspired by the Lacrosse Sixes game format added to the 2028 Summer Olympics. The format is marked by fast-paced play on a condensed field with a shortened shot clock, and faceoffs limited to the start of each quarter.
Round-robin play begins on Friday, Feb. 27 and continues through Friday, Mar. 6, with PLL and WLL semifinals set for Saturday, Mar. 7 on ESPN+. Both title games will be played on Sunday, Mar. 8 on ESPN+, with the WLL Final at 11 a.m. ET and PLL Final at 3 p.m. All sixteen games of the Lexus Championship Series will be available on ESPN+ on the ESPN App on mobile and connected TV devices.
PLL play-by-play duties will be handled by Anish Shroff with Ryan Boyle as analyst and Dana Boyle reporting.
Jay Alter will handle WLL play-by-play with Sheehan Stanwick-Burch as analyst and with Annabelle Hasselbeck reporting.
