If you’re not playing pickleball these days, there’s a good chance you’ve got some serious FOMO. While the sport’s been around since the ‘60s, it’s become everyone’s favorite past-time over the last few years. Luckily, we have good news for the tried-and-true pickleball players (pickle-ballers? picklers?), and those who finally want in on the fun. The 2026 Oceanview USA Pickleball National Championships are coming to town at Barnes Tennis Center from October 31 to November 8.⁠
⁠
As the longest-standing and premier national championship in pickleball, the event is hosting the nation’s best players, from junior players and collegiate teams to wheelchair athletes and pros. In between matches, attendees can experience Fan Village to shop exclusive merch and products. ⁠
⁠
The best part? General admission tickets are free, with access and seating granted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to upgrade your experience, grab a Championship Court ticket for $20-49, or VIP tickets (including VIP lounge access, lite bites and drink tickets, and the best seats in the house) at $139. Check out the link in our bio for more info, or to grab your tickets now.
