Three Days of Professional Play Will Culminate in Exclusive Airing of Finals on ABC

ESPN and the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) have signed an agreement for exclusive coverage of the first-ever PPA Tour bubly Team Championships. The one-of-a kind pickleball event will take place on Sunday, December 18th at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and air live and exclusively on ABC at 1:00PM ET/10:00AM PT.

Four world-class teams will begin competition Friday, December 16, followed by the semifinals on the evening of Saturday, December 17, and conclude with the airing of the two-hour finals on Sunday, December 18 on ABC. Players will take the court in a series of doubles matches, with an exciting tiebreaker format to decide the victor in the event of a draw, and $175,000 on the line in prize money.

“We are thrilled to offer fans coverage of the PPA’s inaugural bubly Team Championships and give them an opportunity to watch what has become one of the country’s fastest growing sports,” said Tim Bunnell, senior vice president, programming, ESPN. “Our commitment is to serve sports fans anytime, anywhere with innovative content, and we are excited to be part of this sport’s growth trajectory.”

“The PPA Tour has a fantastic partner in ESPN, and we’re very excited to showcase our sport at the national level,” said Connor Pardoe, commissioner, and CEO of the PPA. “We look forward to working together to tell the story of this exciting event and growing the fanbase of pickleball across the world.”

Top pickleball pros Anna Leigh Waters, Ben Johns, Catherine Parenteau and Riley Newman are a few of the big names scheduled to play in the event. In addition to the professional competition, more than 1,000 amateur players are expected to take to the courts, with pickleball festivities and activities running concurrently during each day’s competition.

Pickleball has seen a meteoric rise both domestically and internationally over the last two years, with the sport now featuring more than 5 million active players in the U.S. alone. A mashup of tennis, badminton and table tennis, pickleball is easy and fun to play, but offers the competitively-minded a healthy challenge when it comes to mastery.
