The four-day event at SPORTIME will showcase the best pickleball professionals in the world across 30 coed team matches—including four featuring the hometown Brooklyn Pickleball Team—and bring a festival-style feel to SPORTIME Randall’s Island that will include food, beverage, music, an amateur pickleball tournament, and local and nationwide sponsors participating in the fun. All are welcome to join the festivities and can find ticketing information here and amateur tournament registration info here.
BKPT is opening up a contest for any new followers of @brooklynpickleball.team on Instagram until 29 June 2025. The lucky winner will earn a VIP ticket package for the event.
“Being able to bring an MLP event to New York within months of announcing Brooklyn Pickleball Team is a major step forward in our mission to be a beacon of positivity and lasting impact in our community,” said Adam Behnke, Chief Operating Officer of Brooklyn Pickleball Team. “We are looking forward to continuing to work together with all key stakeholders to create programming surrounding the event that serves our pickleball-loving community and will shine a bright light on our city.”
“SPORTIME Randall’s Island was built to host world-class events, and welcoming Major League Pickleball to our flagship facility is exactly the type of opportunity we envisioned,” said Ben Schlansky, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of SPORTIME. “With that, and our ongoing expansion of SPORTIME’s pickleball footprint, hosting this MLP event is a perfect fit. We’re excited to showcase our venue, support the growth of pickleball and be a part of this major moment for the sport.”
The 2025 MLP schedule features 14 total events—hosted in nine different states—showcasing ten regular season events, a Mid-Season Tournament, two rounds of the 2025 MLP Playoffs, and November’s standalone MLP Cup. All MLP teams will appear in five regular season events playing a total of 25 matches, with a combination of Premier Level and Challenger Level teams in action at each event. The top four teams standing after the first round of playoffs in August will return to New York for the Semifinals and Championship that will take place at Wollman Rink, Central Park.
