This is the true spirit of pickleball: welcoming, competitive, and driven by community.
What Makes the World Pickleball Championship Stand Out?
- Since 2019, WPC has hosted 80+ events across four continents, involving 15+ countries like the USA, Australia, Europe, and Asia.
- More than 60,000 players are part of the WPC global ecosystem, making it one of the most inclusive pickleball communities worldwide.
- It is sanctioned by the sport’s global governing body and fully recognized internationally.
-
The WPC system introduces two key ranking structures:
- WPC Ranking: Tracks top-tier competitive players in Open matches.
- Global Pickleball Ranking (GPR): Tracks amateur and age-group matches globally.
- Both rankings are powered by real match data and are fully integrated with Pickleball Global, the world’s largest tournament digital platform.
- WPC Championship prize pools can reach up to USD 100,000, with Asia events attracting between 1,000 to 2,000 players each.

The WPC Ranking is now considered the ultimate benchmark for elite pickleball players globally, while the GPR ensures that every match at every level counts toward players’ global journeys.
