Pickleball World Cup ’26Da Nang
The Cup lands in Asia for the first time — eight days of pool play and finals on Vietnam's central coast. This is India's road there: the team, the format, and how to follow every serve.
Eight days.
One coast.
Da Nang set a Guinness pickleball attendance record in 2025 — 7,906 fans in one arena. The World Cup arrives on the back of that wave.
The only Asian nation in the top 10.
On its very first World Cup appearance, India hauled 25 medals and finished 7th — ahead of every other Asian side. Da Nang is the chance to do it on home turf, in front of an Asian crowd, against the world's best.
Not just for nations — there's also an open tournament you can enter the same week, drawn by skill rating.
