Carvana PPA Tour announces 2026-2027 schedule featuring marquee U.S. and international events

The Carvana PPA Tour announced on Tuesday the full 2026-2027 season schedule, which includes the return of iconic events such as the Pickleball World Championships in Dallas, Texas, and the PPA Finals in San Clemente, California, along with highly-anticipated tournaments in Kuala Lumpur, Brisbane and Hong Kong. Kicking off August 31st with the Veolia Pickleball National Championships (in a soon-to-be announced, pickleball-obsessed location), the season of PPA Tour events worth 1000+ ranking points will span coast to coast with 20 tournaments played in prominent locations such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Dallas and many more. 

The 2026-2027 global season on the PPA Tour begins as soon as the 2026 PPA Finals conclude, with opportunities for pros and aspiring pros to earn experience and valuable ranking points in international events and PPA Challenger events. The season also welcomes the introduction of PPA Canada and PPA Italy, who will be hosting PPA 125 and 250 events in Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Portoroz (Slovenia), Brescia and more to be announced. The growth and success of professional pickleball continues in Asia and Australia, as well - 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 towards 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 Connor Pardoe, Founder & CEO of the Carvana PPA Tour. “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.”

The Carvana PPA Tour has experienced exceptional growth since its inception, seeing historic crowds and record-breaking television broadcast windows. The recent live CBS broadcast of the Carvana PPA Masters became the most-viewed pickleball event of any kind on any network, with its audience peaking at over 1 million viewers. The 2026 Carvana Mesa Cup, which concluded this past weekend, also broke ticketing records - becoming the highest-grossing PPA event outside of the Pickleball World Championships.

Complimenting the exceptional growth of the Carvana PPA Tour, the professional game is digging into its grassroots to find and promote the best young talent in the country via the PPA Challenger Series, a pipeline to the pinnacle of professional pickleball. The most comprehensive season yet on the PPA Challenger Series, which seeks to nurture emerging pro talent, is shaping up across the U.S., with an anticipated 20 tournaments worth valuable PPA ranking points and experience. 

Between a broadened PPA Challenger Series, a refreshed Carvana PPA Tour schedule, and even more exciting international tournaments, the health of professional pickleball has never been stronger.
