“Our 2025 Championship Series will be the most exciting yet," said Paul Rabil, Co-Founder and President of the Premier Lacrosse League. "With the top four teams from 2024 competing in our fast-paced Olympic format and the world’s best women’s players making their WLL debut, this event will inspire future generations of lacrosse players. Partnering with Lexus, we’re proud to elevate the Championship Series as a stage for future Olympic stars and a showcase for professional lacrosse at its highest level.”

A change to the format in 2025, the PLL and WLL team ranked first at the end of round-robin play will receive a bye to the Championship game on Monday, Feb. 17. Fourth place teams will be eliminated from playoff contention, raising the stakes for every round robin game in each team’s pursuit of a Championship Series title. 

The PLL debuted the sixes format Championship Series in 2023, where Chrome Lacrosse Club won the inaugural Championship Series Trophy. In 2024, the Boston Cannons took home the Championship Series in a 23-22 overtime thriller against the Philadelphia Waterdogs. Averaging nearly twice as many scores per game than the traditional field format, Olympic Sixes is marked by fast paced, high octane play. The 2025 Lexus Championship Series will be the first to feature a returning Championship Series title winner, and reigning PLL Championship team in the Utah Archers – the New York Atlas and Maryland Whipsnakes last qualified for the Championship Series in 2023.
