The Lacrosse Network

What The Lacrosse Network does

The Lacrosse Network (TLN) is a privately held digital media company that produces and distributes lacrosse-focused content across owned and partner channels. Founded in 2010 in Los Angeles by Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry, TLN operates a single core product: a digital media platform delivering daily coverage of lacrosse at every level, from youth and high school through college and professional leagues, with editorial positioning for the sport's Olympic return at LA28 and women's lacrosse's Olympic debut in 2028.

The company's content is built around quality storytelling and cinematography, and is distributed through its owned properties at thelacrossenetwork.com, a beehiiv-powered email newsletter subscription, and an ecommerce storefront at shop.thelacrossenetwork.com. In 2026, TLN became a content partner in the Yahoo Sports lacrosse content hub alongside the Premier Lacrosse League, Women's Lacrosse League, USA Lacrosse, and Inside Lacrosse, extending reach to Yahoo Sports' 100+ million monthly users.

TLN monetizes through three channels: (1) subscription and merchandise sales via its shop and newsletter platforms, (2) content licensing arrangements through partnerships such as the Yahoo Sports hub, and (3) advertising and sponsorship revenue from brands targeting the lacrosse community. The company is described as the largest lacrosse media company globally. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, no funding rounds are disclosed, and the company operates as an independent founder-owned entity within the lacrosse media ecosystem.
