The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) is raising $100 million in a new financing round, described by multiple outlets as the largest capital raise in professional lacrosse history. Deadline and Fortune report that the league’s Series E round is led by Ares and Joe Tsai, the owner of the New York Liberty. The funding also includes participation from prominent entertainment figures Glen Powell and Rob Mac, who are listed among the investors. Fortune and Deadline both note that ESPN holds a minority equity stake in the league as part of the round. Deadline adds that ESPN took a stake in the PLL in 2025, and that the Series E round is among the most significant in the league’s history. The reports characterize the round as a large-scale effort to provide new capital to the PLL, with backing from financial firms, a major sports ownership group, and a broadcaster investor. All sources agree on the round’s size, the Series E designation, the key lead investors, and the involvement of Powell and Mac.
