          The Premier Lacrosse League announced the rosters for the 2025 Lexus Championship Series, featuring 13 players from the Boston Cannons, New York Atlas, Maryland Whipsnakes and Utah Archers.

          Those teams finished as the top four from the 2024 PLL season, and will compete from Feb. 11-17 at the St. James in Springfield, Va., in the Sixes format. This is the same format that will be used when lacrosse returns to the Olympics at the Los Angeles Games in 2028.

          "These four teams were built to showcase the speed, skill, and athleticism that define Olympic Sixes play at our 2025 Lexus Championship Series," said Paul Rabil, co-founder and president of the PLL. "This tournament offers a glimpse into the future of lacrosse on the Olympic stage. We're excited to highlight elite talent, groundbreaking strategies, and the fast-paced, high-scoring action as teams compete for their cities and a Lexus Championship Series title."

          The Boston Cannons won the 2024 Championship Series over the Philadelphia Waterdogs, 23-22, on an overtime goal by Matt Kavanagh.
