The Navy SEAL Foundation is proud to announce the return of the Stars & Stripes Classic, a powerful tribute to service and sport, held in partnership with the Green Beret Foundation and the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL). Now in its second year, this unique exhibition game will once again bring together former Green Beret and Navy SEAL operators to compete on the lacrosse field in front of a national audience.
Scheduled for Monday, September 1, 2025, at Subaru Park in Philadelphia, the event will open the PLL Semifinals weekend with a 1 PM ET faceoff. It will air on ESPNU and stream live on ESPN+. Each ticket includes admission to all three games taking place that day.
After the resounding success of last year’s inaugural game at Gillette Stadium, this year’s event continues a growing tradition that highlights the shared values between elite warriors and elite athletes. Discipline, teamwork, strategy, and resilience are the foundation of both communities. More than just a game, the Stars & Stripes Classic raises critical funds and awareness for the programs that support our nation’s most elite military forces.
“Following the tremendous success of last year’s event, we are proud to once again partner with the Green Beret Foundation and the Premier Lacrosse League,” said Robin King, CEO of the Navy SEAL Foundation. “This exhibition highlights the remarkable qualities that define both elite warriors and athletes and helps sustain the vital programs that support our Naval Special Warfare community.”
The Stars & Stripes Classic is not just an exhibition. It is a celebration of service, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Whether you are a lacrosse fan, a supporter of our nation’s warriors, or both, this is an event you will not want to miss.
