About the Kickoff Classic
The Kickoff Classic returned January 3–4, 2026, bringing players, partners, and the pickleball community together to start the year with competition, connection, and great energy on the courts. As one of the first events of the season, the Kickoff Classic set the tone for what’s ahead—celebrating the game, the athletes, and the community that continues to fuel its growth.
With exciting matchups, strong participation, and an outstanding atmosphere throughout the weekend, the 2026 Kickoff Classic once again delivered a memorable experience for players and spectators alike.
