Association of Pickleball Players to Double Event Calendar in 2025

The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) has announced a dramatic expansion of its 2025 tournament calendar featuring nearly 50 world-class competitions throughout the year. Beginning in January 2025, the APP’s seventh year will showcase its most robust calendar ever and celebrates its first year at its state-of-the-art headquarters at The Fort in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The APP is increasing its commitment to growing the sport of pickleball with more opportunities for pro and amateur players, stronger investment in player development initiatives, and more national television exposure for APP Tour events. The APP Tour is meeting the increased demand for opportunities to play across all ages and skill levels by doubling competitions in 2025, highlighting 14 nationally televised APP Tour events and more than 20 new APP Tour competitions serving tens of thousands of pickleball players at the pro and amateur level across the United States. The APP Tour is also expanding its industry-leading linear broadcast schedule to more than 55 hours in 2025, providing 14 nationally televised APP Tour events, giving the nation’s top pickleball pros unprecedented visibility on a national stage. Additionally, the APP is committed to player development and growing the game among youth pickleball players with initiatives such as the expanded APP Next Gen schedule in 2025 and the launch of the APP Academy at The Fort in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The global expansion of competitive and recreational pickleball also remains a priority for the APP, with the announcement of several international events to be supported in 2025.
