Upcoming events

Events with confirmed registration deadlines come first — because knowing about a tournament after entries have closed isn't terribly useful.

Formal deadline 9 October Registration currently temporarily paused by organiser

2026 English Nationals

29 October–1 November 2026 · Bolton Arena
Further afield
Registration update: Pickleball England currently says registration has been temporarily closed while it resolves existing registrations following a Stripe payment/refund issue. The published formal closing date remains 9 October unless capacity is reached earlier.

The major English national championship, staged at Bolton Arena. Demand is high and individual categories may fill before the formal registration deadline.

Frenz comment One for players specifically looking for national-level competition. It's a considerably bigger commitment than our nearer events, and availability should be checked before making travel plans.

Register by 31 October Confirmed registration deadline

Welsh Open Masters

South Wales

Men's, women's and mixed doubles for players aged 60+, 65+ and 70+, with skill groups 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0+ depending on age category.

Frenz comment ⭐ A particularly good option for Frenz players wanting to try age-group competition. It's in South Wales and offers clearly structured age and skill categories.
