What's New?
 

- Now on YouTube TV: PBTV will be launched on YouTube TV’s broadest level of service and available to all YouTube TV subscribers.

- Comprehensive Coverage: Fans can watch PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball (MLP) matches, international events (Melbourne, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Da Nang), collegiate and junior competitions, plus highlights, original programming, and lifestyle content.

- Special Launch Programming: The debut will be marked by a two-hour live special of Pickleballtv Live at 7pm ET, featuring Steve Weissman, Jessie Irvine, Matt Manasse, and Dave Fleming, along with special guests.


- New Original Series: The network is also announcing Celebrity Pickleball, a fast-paced series (set to premiere later this season) hosted by Matt Manasse and featuring celebrity guests like Drew Brees, Katie Couric, Trae Young, and more.

- Major Events Ahead: Pickleballtv will broadcast the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships (Oct. 31–Nov. 9) in Dallas. Last year’s edition saw more than 57,000 fans on-site enjoy the world’s largest pickleball festival on “Pickleball Boulevard” and the incredible play of the best athletes in the sport.

Pickleballtv remains the only dedicated network offering coverage and original content 24/7.

With this expansion, Pickleballtv continues to make the sport more accessible to fans everywhere, through the Pickleballtv app, Pickleballtv.com, free streaming platforms, and now as part of the YouTube TV lineup.
