LOS ANGELES, CA. (July 13, 2021) - The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) powered by Ticketmaster has named CrowdStrike the presenting partner of the 2021 All-Star Game.

The Defenders, captained by Chaos LC goalie Blaze Riorden, will face off against the Adversaries, captained by Archers LC attackman Grant Ament.

“From the team names to the jersey design to broadcast integration, the partnership between PLL and CrowdStrike is a first of its kind in US professional sports,” said PLL Co-Founder and CEO Michael Rabil. “We’re proud to partner with CrowdStrike and innovate the industry with them.”

The NBC Sports broadcast will keep a running tally of saves made on-screen during the broadcast. For each save made, CrowdStrike will make a charitable donation.

In a first for US professional sports, the Premier Lacrosse League has integrated CrowdStrike branding into the overall design of the All-Star Game uniforms. Beyond merely a patch or a logo, both the team names and uniforms have been fully designed with CrowdStrike name, marks, and colors.

The PLL and CrowdStrike partnership will continue for the remainder of the PLL season through branded content on PLL social media channels and a variety of broadcast integrations. 

The 2021 PLL All-Star Game presented by CrowdStrike will be on NBC Sports at 7:00PM ET on Sunday, July 18th at PayPal Park.
