The 2021 PLL Championships take place this Sunday, September 19 as the Whipsnakes take on the Chaos at Audi Field in Washington D.C. Live coverage begins at 12:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The streaming platform is available across a variety of devices, see the full list here.

The two teams actually met in last year’s final, but it was the Whipsnakes that emerged victorious with a 12-6 win. In fact, the Whipsnakes are the only PLL club to have won a championship title since the league’s formation in 2018 and could potentially make history with a three-peat. It’s been nearly two decades since a team within the four major North American pro sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) has won three titles in a row. The last major team to do so was the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-2002).

Sunday’s match-up marks the third straight year that the Chaos and Whipsnakes are meeting in the postseason. In addition to playing in last year’s Championship game, the two clubs met in the first round of the 2019 playoffs, which resulted in a 15-7 Whips victory.

This season, the Chaos finished sixth in the league with a 4-5 record, defeating the Archers 13-10 in the quarterfinals, and the Atlas 15-9 in the semis. With a 5-4 record, the Whipsnakes finished fifth in the league, defeating the Redwoods in the quarterfinals (14-13) and the Waterdogs 14-10 in the semis to clinch their spot in the final.

STAMFORD, Conn. – May 12, 2021 – NBC Sports and Peacock announced today the media schedule for the 2021 Premier Lacrosse League season, featuring comprehensive coverage of 44 games this summer across NBC, NBCSN, and Peacock. Peacock will stream all 44 matchups, which sets an NBC Sports record for the most-ever professional lacrosse game coverage in a season.

The 2021 Premier Lacrosse League season will feature 21 of the games on NBC (4) and NBCSN (17), the most-ever professional lacrosse games on television in a season. All televised coverage will also stream on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

2021 marks the first season that Peacock is the streaming home of the Premier Lacrosse League, featuring live, streaming coverage of every game throughout the season, including 23 games that will stream exclusively on Peacock.

“We are looking forward to presenting PLL’s world-class players and captivating style of play on Peacock, NBC and NBCSN,” said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports. “For the third consecutive year, following a momentous offseason for the PLL that welcomed a merger with Major League Lacrosse and a new expansion team in Cannons LC, we’re excited to showcase this historic moment on NBC Sports.”

Opening weekend of the 2021 PLL season will take place June 4-6 with five matchups from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The season opener will feature the league debut of Cannons LC against Redwoods LC on Friday, June 4, at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock.

NBC and Peacock will present Whipsnakes LC facing off against Cannons LC on Saturday, June 12, at Noon ET from Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga., in the first of four matchups on the broadcast network throughout the season.
