Roseville to Host 2026 US Quadball Cup

US Quadball will host its annual national championship tournament April 18–19, 2026, at the new Placer Valley Soccer Complex in Roseville, California.

About 60 teams from across the country will compete in the Quadball Cup, which has never been west of Utah since starting in 2007. The event will bring approximately 1,200 athletes and $2.3 million to the region for the two-day tournament.

“The Quadball Cup is an important milestone for the community and showcases the kind of major sporting events that we can host,” said Kim Summers, chief executive officer of Placer Valley Tourism. “The Placer Valley Soccer Complex opens the door to more sports and new opportunities that will bring more guests and revenue to the region.”

Placer Valley Tourism has been pushing for the Quadball Cup the past few years, hosting the sport’s West Coast national qualifier tournament five times since 2013, including the past two years.

“We’ve always wanted to move the tournament around the country,” said Shirley Lu, interim chief operating officer of US Quadball. “The new soccer facility was a huge part of the decision. But it’s also because of how often we go to Placer Valley. It’s just a very good fit.”

The Placer Valley Soccer Complex has 10 artificial turf fields and is scheduled to open in early 2026. It will aim to attract more sports to the region — including flag football, field hockey, lacrosse, and rugby — while filling hotel rooms and restaurants.

“Roseville is thrilled to be the host city for the US Quadball Cup in spring 2026,” said Roseville Mayor Krista Bernasconi. “As one of the first major tournaments at our new Placer Valley Soccer Complex, it showcases our commitment to attract diverse sporting events to the area — events that inspire community spirit and support our local economy.”

Quadball is a mixed-gender sport that combines dodgeball, flag football and rugby on a field where athletes must carry a “broom” between their legs, much like the wizards in the Harry Potter novels and movies.
