Best TV plans for watching the Premier Lacrosse League
You only need one platform to watch the Premier Lacrosse League’s games in 2026, and that is ESPN Unlimited, which includes all content on ESPN+, plus games on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2. As a lacrosse fan, I love the coverage it provides for the sport at different levels and how easy it is to find the exact content I am looking for.
You can find the PLL with just a few taps, a quick search, or by saving a bookmark to the league’s dedicated page on your devices. My personal favorite is the bookmark option!
ESPN Unlimited costs just $29.99 per month on its own. But if you have Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV, Fubo, Spectrum, Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-verse, Cox, or Xfinity, you can authenticate ESPN Unlimited with your login details through the ESPN app at no extra charge.

ESPN Unlimited is a no-brainer for fans of the Premier Lacrosse League. Not only can you watch every single game live on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+, but you can also watch original documentaries, player roundtables, and more behind-the-scenes content.
No other platform has all of this in one place. As a fan, this amazing access to the league and its players is all I could ask for, and the price is great, too.
