The official order of play
Eight days, two separate events side by side — the Pickleball World Cup (national teams) and the International Pickleball Tournament (open entry). Here is the full day-by-day shape, from opening serve to the closing ceremony.
Day by day,
two tracks
The Pickleball World Cup is the country-vs-country team event; the International Tournament is the open, rating-based event you can enter. The highlighted rows are ceremonies, the exhibition and the finals.
Order of play per the official schedule — subject to change. Round-by-round timing and IST kick-offs follow the official draw; we'll update this the moment it lands.
