The PPA Tour this week announced the full 2026-2027 season schedule, which includes the return of several popular U.S. stops as well as highly anticipated international events in Malaysia, Australia, Canada, Italy and China.

The season kicks off on Aug. 31 with the Pickleball National Championships in a "soon-to-be announced, pickleball-obsessed location," according to the tour. There will be 20 tournaments in the U.S., with new stops in Chicago and Malibu as well as popular past locations such as Dallas, Mesa and Las Vegas.

The season also marks the debut of PPA Canada and PPA Italy, which will be hosting PPA 125 and 250 events in Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Portoroz (Slovenia), Brescia and more to be announced. The PPA Asia season will feature the most ranking points up for grabs for pros in its history, and PPA Australia will host a record-setting Australian Pickleball Open with a $500,000 prize pool. All points earned at any tournament under the PPA umbrella count toward a unified global ranking.

“The Carvana PPA Tour has seen incredible growth since our founding in 2019, and this broadened season is further evidence of the arrival of pickleball on the professional sports stage,” said tour Founder and CEO Connor Pardoe. “The 2026-2027 season will provide unbelievable excitement as we continue to build on the legacy and prestige of mainstay tournaments such as the Pickleball World Championships and the PPA Finals, while adding incredible new U.S. tour stops in Chicago and Malibu, plus running our most robust international schedule yet with more than 25 international events across PPA Asia, Australia, Canada and Italy. There is opportunity for every pro and aspiring pro to compete and earn their way onto the biggest stage of pro pickleball.”

In addition to the flagship PPA Tour events, there will also be 20 PPA Challenger Series events during the 2026-27 season, allowing players to get ranking points and valuable experience as they pursue a professional pickleball career.

The PPA Tour has already experienced significant growth in 2026, with a record-breaking TV broadcast during the PPA Tour Masters in January and record-setting attendance at the PPA Tour Mesa Cup last weekend.
