While the 2024 PLL regular season won’t begin until May 31 in Albany, New York, the Championship Series is taking place this week at The St. James in Springfield, Virginia, and broadcast on the networks of ESPN.
This event will feature the top four teams from last regular season — the Utah Archers, Philadelphia Waterdogs, Boston Cannons and California Redwoods — playing a round-robin schedule before the semifinals and championship game.
The teams will be playing in a different format — a 6-on-6 configuration, or “Sixes” for short, which will be how the sport will be played when it returns to the Olympics in 2028.
Read on for the schedule of games, broadcast details, a look at each team’s uniforms, and some quick notes on how “sixes” is different from a traditional game of field lacrosse.
