The first-ever MLP Cup will be held this weekend just outside of Dallas, bringing together all 22 Premier Level and Challenger Level teams for three days of matches with prize money and the team title on the line.

The event will be held Oct. 31-Nov. 2 at Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch, Texas, kicking off the 10-day Pickleball World Championships.

In a nod to the original Major League Pickleball format, pool play will lead into a single-elimination bracket in both divisions.

The MLP season finals wrapped up in New York City in August, with the Columbus Sliders defeating the New Jersey 5s to claim the title in Premier. The Las Vegas Night Owls defeated the Nashville Chefs -- The Kitchen's team -- in the Challenger Level finals.

This weekend's tournament will be the final event for GMs and team owners to see their teams in action before making roster decisions in the offseason.

Teams will play across three courts from Friday through Sunday, with the Premier and Challenger Finals closing out the event on Sunday, setting the tone for the championship week ahead.
