The matches will be played at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman beginning July 25 and ending on August 6.
“The support of Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Real Salt Lake owner Dell Loy Hansen, and the larger Utah Sports Commission has been invaluable in the process of bringing the PLL Championship Series to a reality,” says PLL co-founder and chief executive Mike Rabil. “With their world-class operators and state-of-the-art facilities we can bring our best version of the PLL to fans around the world.”
All seven PLL clubs will be accommodated for room and board, training, and competition at the facilities’ numerous playing fields.
The Premier Lacross League was originally scheduled to begin on May 29 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and tour major US cities across the nation over 15 weeks, before it was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 20 total games will be aired on broadcast network NBC, cable channel NBCSN, and NBC Sports Gold. All televised games will also be streamed live on NBCSports.com or the network’s app.
