Players in the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), a professional lacrosse championship in the United States, earn an average of between $35,000 and $55,000 per season. Rookies generally start between $25,000 and $35,000, according to estimates cited by Tuko.
Beyond their base salary, PLL players receive health coverage, equity in the league and travel expenses. With the season running from June to September, most players have another job during the off-season.
The highest-paid players can earn more than $100,000 a year, notably through sponsorship deals, media appearances and camps. The PLL does not publish an official salary scale, so these figures are estimates from industry sources and player statements.
Player pay increased ahead of the 2026 season, as the PLL continued to expand its schedule, television coverage and portfolio of sponsors, according to Tuko.
