UPA World Championships, Major League Pickleball to Return to Dallas

The United Pickleball Association, a joint venture between Major League Pickleball and the PPA Tour, will hold its World Championships at the Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas in November.

The week’s worth of events will include the World Championship in open amateur, state champions and pro divisions. Last year, Pickleball Boulevard welcomed more than 50,000 fans and 3,500 competitors from 49 states.

“We are excited that the United Pickleball Association World Championships are returning to Brookhaven Country Club, where the event and sport are enthusiastically embraced,” said Monica Paul, executive director of the Dallas Sports Commission. “From the atmosphere along Pickleball Boulevard to the energy around Farmers Branch, this unique championship showcases both the growing popularity of pickleball and the region’s reputation as a premier destination for world-class sporting events.”

Also during the event from November 1-10 will be the DUPR collegiate national championships, Major League Pickleball playoffs opening round at both Premier and Challenger levels and champions of the Carvana PPA Tour pro division will be crowned on with Gold and Bronze Medal matches across all five divisions – men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

“We are absolutely thrilled to bring the World’s Biggest Pickleball Party to Dallas,” said Connor Pardoe, United Pickleball Association executive and founder and chief executive officer of the PPA Tour. “We are welcoming everyone to enjoy 11 days celebrating the fastest-growing sport in America through top-notch pro and amateur competition, world-class entertainment, food and drink on Pickleball Boulevard.”
