The Carvana PPA Tour has unveiled its complete schedule for the 2026–2027 season, showcasing the return of prominent U.S. tournaments along with a notable international expansion. This season will include the Pickleball World Championships in Dallas, Texas, and the PPA Finals in San Clemente, California, as well as international events in Kuala Lumpur, Brisbane, and Hong Kong.

New additions to the schedule include PPA Canada and PPA Italy, which will host PPA 125 and 250 tournaments in cities such as Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Portoroz (Slovenia), Brescia, and more locations to be announced. PPA Asia is set to offer the highest ranking points in its history, while PPA Australia will host a record-setting Australian Pickleball Open with a prize pool of $500,000. All tournaments under the PPA umbrella will contribute to a unified global ranking.
Connor Pardoe, the Founder & CEO of the Carvana PPA Tour, expressed excitement about the tour's growth since its inception in 2019. He stated, “The 2026-2027 season promises thrilling experiences as we enhance the legacy of established tournaments like the Pickleball World Championships and the PPA Finals, while introducing exciting new U.S. tour locations in Chicago and Malibu. Our most extensive international schedule yet will feature over 25 events across PPA Asia, Australia, Canada, and Italy, providing opportunities for every professional and aspiring player to shine on the biggest stage of pro pickleball.”
This announcement comes on the heels of record-breaking success for the tour, with the live CBS broadcast of the Carvana PPA Masters achieving the highest viewership for a pickleball event on any network, peaking at over one million viewers. Additionally, the 2026 Carvana Mesa Cup set new ticket sales records, becoming the highest-grossing PPA event outside of the Pickleball World Championships.
