The Denver Outlaws are a professional field lacrosse team based in Denver, Colorado, that competes in the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL). Founded as the Chrome Lacrosse Club, they began play as one of the league's six inaugural teams in the 2019 season alongside Archers, Atlas, Chaos, Redwoods, and Whipsnakes. The team competes as a member of the league's Western Conference.

Following the assignment of home markets for the 2024 season on November 14th, 2023 , they were rebranded with the identity of the former Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse.[1] The Denver Outlaws notched their first PLL win defeating the defending champion Utah Archers 18-17 in overtime on June 7th, 2024 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
