FAIRFIELD, Conn. The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) and Women's Lacrosse League (WLL) have announced that both leagues will compete on the Fairfield University campus on Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium, July 17-19, 2026. 
 
A staple in the PLL calendar since 2022, all eight PLL teams will compete at Rafferty Stadium, with Fairfield selected as a neutral site host for the league once again. 
 
The Women's Lacrosse League (WLL) will also take the field in Fairfield for the first time. The 2026 season is the league's first regular season, where the league's original four teams will compete in the 10-versus-10 format successfully debuted at the 2025 WLL All-Star Game.
 
"We can't wait to bring the PLL and WLL to Fairfield," said PLL Co-Founder and CEO, Mike Rabil. "Connecticut is home to some of the best talent in lacrosse, and one of the most robust youth scenes in the world. We're proud to bring the best players in the world to the next generation of stars."
 
"We are excited to have the PLL return to Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium this summer, and to welcome the WLL to our campus for the first time this July," said Fairfield University Vice President for Athletics, Paul Schlickmann. "It has become an anticipated annual event for the Town of Fairfield and the local lacrosse community each summer, as well as an incredible opportunity to showcase the Fairfield University campus and Rafferty Stadium to a nationwide audience."
 
Ahead of the 2026 season, the top four PLL teams from the 2025 season, and all four WLL teams will play in the 2026 Championship Series, February 27 - March 8 at The St. James near Washington, D.C. The New York Atlas, Carolina Chaos, Denver Outlaws and California Redwoods, alongside the WLL teams, will compete in the Olympic Sixes game format, set to return lacrosse to the Olympics at the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games.
