STAMFORD, Conn. – The Premier Lacrosse League and NBC Sports Group jointly announced Thursday the television and live streaming schedule for the PLL’s inaugural 39-game season, which begins June 1.
The PLL is a six-team, tour-based league featuring 160 of the best lacrosse players in the world. The teams that will take the field for the league’s first season are Archers LC, Atlas LC, Chaos LC, Chrome LC, Redwoods LC and Whipsnakes LC. NBC Sports Group is the exclusive media partner of the newly-founded PLL, and will present games across NBC, NBCSN, NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, and NBC Sports Gold.
Fans will be able to watch three games on NBC and 16 games on NBCSN, all of which will be live streamed via authentication on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app. NBC Sports Gold – NBC Sports’ direct-to-consumer live streaming product powered by Playmaker Media – will live stream 20 games exclusively for subscribers. More details about NBC Sports Gold’s lacrosse product will be announced soon.
The first two games in PLL history will be live streamed exclusively to subscribers ofNBC Sports Gold when Justin Guterding and Chrome take on Tom Schreiber and Archers on Sat., June 1, at 1 p.m. ET, followed by Mike Ehrhardt and Whipsnakes vs. Tyson Bell and Chaos at 4 p.m. ET. NBC Sports’ opening weekend coverage concludes with the first game on NBCSN when Greg Gurenlian and Redwoods face Rabil and Atlas on Sun., June 2, at 1:30 p.m. ET.
NBC’s coverage begins in Week 2 when Paul Rabil and Atlas face Myles Jones and Chaos at the New York-area Red Bull Arena on Sun., June 9, at 2 p.m. ET.
