The Women's Professional Lacrosse League (WPLL) was a women's lacrosse league in the United States. The league was formally composed of five teams: the Brave, Command, Fight, Fire, and Pride.[1][2] The league announced on February 27, 2020 that it would restructure and downsize the league to four teams, [3] which would ultimately be: the Brave, Command, Fight, and Pride.[1][2] League play started on Saturday, June 2, 2018.[1][4] After cancelling the 2020 season in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league announced on August 6, 2020, that it would be closing down, and that some of its athletes would be given opportunities to play with Athletes Unlimited. [5] The new Athletes Unlimited league is expected to begin play in July 2021.[6]
