Major League Pickleball (MLP) announced on Monday the league’s complete 2026 season schedule - a collection of regular season events in team markets, in addition to the Mid-Season Tournament, and the expanded three-week 2026 MLP Playoffs - with all events taking place from May-August.

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.

The regular season and 2026 MLP Playoffs will both begin in Dallas, TX (May 22-25 and Aug 6-9) - home market of 2024 league champion Dallas Flash. The regular season finale will be hosted at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, FL for the very first time, Jul 30-Aug 2. The remainder of the 2026 MLP Playoffs will return to San Diego, CA, Aug 13-16, and New York City, Aug 28-30.

Regular season events will regularly run Thursday-Sunday and in MLP team cities, following the successful 2025 season format that generated a 52% year-over-year increase in attendance, more than double sponsorship revenue, and significant local community engagement among MLP’s franchises.
