Order of play and updated broadcast schedule for Friday at the Veolia Pickleball National Championships
The Veolia Pickleball National Championships, the first event of the 2026-2027 PPA Tour season, continues Friday with quarterfinal action in all five pro events.
Due to the intense heat expected in the Cary, NC area, the day will be split into two halves to avoid having players on court during the hottest hours of the day.
Thus, the four singles matches on each court will be played starting at 9am ET until they finish at an expected time of noon ET.
Then, there will be a four-hour break before the doubles action begins at approximately 4:30pm ET.
Here is the order of play, with the break included:
Live broadcast coverage of both Humana Championship Court and Carvana Grandstand Court will begin at 9am ET on Pickleballtv and resume after the break at 4:30pm ET on Pickleballtv and Tennis Channel.
