Premier Lacrosse League Merging With Rival in Bid to Unify Sport

The upstart Premier Lacrosse League is taking over two-decade-old Major League Lacrosse in a deal that underscores the tough economics for two organizations vying in a still-fledgling sport.

The merged entity, which will keep the PLL name, will have the right to add the former MLL teams as expansion clubs. Financial terms of the deal, which was first reported by Sportico, weren’t disclosed.
