From Press Release
The Premier Lacrosse League runner-up Philadelphia Waterdogs will be one of four teams to compete in the Premier Lacrosse League Championship Series Feb. 14-19 at The St. James in Springfield, Va.
The top teams from the 2023 summer season will compete in the Olympic Sixes-style format — the same format that will show lacrosse to the world at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
The Chrome Lacrosse Club — now the Denver Outlaws — won the inaugural Championship Series tournament last February. The Utah Archers, the 2023 PLL champion, are the lone returning team in the field. They fell in the Championship Series semifinals last season.
The Championship Series will also be the first time that clubs will represent their new home cities, as the PLL announced the league-shifting change in November.
