The Premier Lacrosse League is a men’s professional lacrosse league composed of eight teams in North America, founded and led by Paul and Mike Rabil. The league has an existing media-rights partnership with ESPN, which will also be a minority equity investor following the $100 million financing. Leadership says the funds will be used to build infrastructure to support growth through elite competition, broader distribution, increased youth participation, and a stronger professional ecosystem. The PLL is coordinating with the Women’s Lacrosse League on shared initiatives and plans to establish teams in Texas, with Glen Powell joining as a Creative Advisor to help those efforts. The league is positioning itself ahead of lacrosse’s return to the Olympics and has 2026 seasons slated to air on ESPN platforms and ABC.
