Pickleplex Social Club to host national championship after successful 2025 Ontario Provincials
On Monday, January 12, Pickleball Canada announced that the 2026 National Championship will take place in Ontario, August 25-30, 2026, at Pickleplex Social Club’s Downsview and Vaughan locations in the Greater Toronto Area.
Pickleball Ontario is excited to see Canada’s premier national competition coming to our province. Ontario has developed strong pickleball infrastructure in recent years, and we’re proud to see our facilities recognized as capable of hosting national-level competition.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming the National Championship to Ontario,” said Jonathon Moody, Vice President of Pickleball Ontario. “This venue hosted our own Provincial Championships last year, and we know Ontario has the facilities and community to deliver a great experience for players and spectators from across the country.”
The championship will feature competition across 21 indoor courts over five days, including singles, doubles, mixed doubles, and the Provincial Team Competition (PTC). In 2026, the PTC will serve as an evaluation criterion for selection into Pickleball Canada’s National Development Program, strengthening Canada’s athlete pathway on the international stage.
Team Ontario’s Silver Medal Performance
The Provincial Team Competition has special significance for Ontario after our strong showing at the inaugural 2025 event in Winnipeg, where Team Ontario captured the silver medal, finishing just behind British Columbia. With the 2026 championship on home turf, our athletes will have the chance to compete for gold with the support of the Ontario pickleball community.
This gives our community the opportunity to watch the country’s top athletes competing at the highest level and to rally behind Team Ontario as they aim for gold.
Ontario Provincials Announcement Coming Soon
While we’re celebrating the national championship coming to our province, Pickleball Ontario has its own announcement coming in the next few weeks. Details about our 2026 Ontario Provincial Championships will be revealed soon, including dates, location, and registration information.
