Major League Pickleball this week released the list of participating teams for each event of the 2026 regular season.
The season will feature nine regular season events in team markets, the annual Mid-Season Tournament and an expanded three-week playoff.
All events will take place from May-August, beginning May 22-25 at the Pickler Universe in Dallas.
Tickets for most 2026 MLP season events are now on sale via Tixr, with the exception of St. Louis and the regular season finale at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World, which will be available exclusively through Ticketmaster.
It's the first time the league has scheduled an event at Walt Disney World (July 30-Aug. 2), and MLP will also visit St. Pete Athletic in St. Petersburg, Florida, (June 18-21) for the first time.
The three playoff events will be held in Dallas (Aug. 6-9), San Diego (Aug. 13-16) and New York City (Aug. 28-30).

Changes to regular season event format
- All teams will participate in five of the nine regular season events and the Mid-Season Tournament.
- All regular season events will have 11 participating teams with the exception of Walt Disney World, which will have 12 teams.
- There will be one group of five and one group of six at each event; Walt Disney World will have two groups of 6.
- Group standings will be determined by standings points earned during group play, with each match worth a total of three (3) points (regulation win = 3; DreamBreaker™ win = 2; DreamBreaker™ loss = 1; regulation loss = 0).
- The same seeded team in each group will play each other on Sunday (Group A No. 1 vs. Group B No. 1), with event standings points on the line, based on Sunday match results.
- Event Standings Points for each event will be 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-1-1, based on final results (winner of the No. 1 vs. No. 1 match will receive 25 event standings points, with the loser earning 18 points, etc.)
- Standings points will be earned based on overall performance at each event, NOT from each match.
