California Palms and Maryland Charm Vie for Inaugural WLL Title

The league’s debut season proved its commercial viability, generating 150 million social media impressions and securing 24 corporate partners, including Nike and Gatorade. Merchandise sales spanned 49 states, with jerseys from stars like Charlotte North, Ally Mastroianni, and Izzy Scane driving the growth. On the field, the 10-versus-10 format maintained a competitive average margin of 2.8 goals, validating the transition from the experimental Olympic Sixes used during the 2024 launch.

Saturday's final features a clash between the league’s top two teams, both bolstered by rosters that include recent World Lacrosse gold medalists. Maryland’s Ally Kennedy, fresh off a tournament MVP performance in Tokyo, leads a Charm squad that narrowly defeated the Palms in their last meeting. To mark the milestone, Cash App is providing an $80,000 championship bonus, matching the prize pool of the men’s Premier Lacrosse League. In an effort to cement its local footprint, the WLL is distributing 2,500 complimentary tickets to Pennsylvania youth programs and nonprofits, aiming to set a new attendance benchmark for the professional game.
