The 2025–26 Collegiate Pickleball Tour is set to kick off with Adidas as the presenting sponsor, bringing enhanced gear and community engagement to the college pickleball scene. The season features multiple tournaments across the U.S., including five fall Super Regionals, four spring Super Regionals, and major championships, with over $100,000 in scholarship prize money to support student-athletes. New eligibility rules require undergraduates to take at least 9 credit hours and graduates 6 credit hours, ensuring a balance between academics and athletics.
Qualification for the 64 available bids at the 2026 Collegiate National Championship will come from various events such as the Collegiate World Championship, Super Regionals, Campus Regionals, dual matches, and wildcards. The tour also expands its Campus Regionals to 15 per semester to encourage wider participation. Official partners like Vulcan, Osaka, Six Zero, and Reign Storm will provide equipment and support, while the Collegiate Council of student leaders will continue to contribute feedback and ideas to grow the sport.
