The Provincial Team Competition returns at the 2026 IG Wealth Management National Championships presented by HearingLife, scheduled for August 27 at Pickleplex Social Club in the Greater Toronto Area. Ontario finished Silver at the inaugural PTC in Winnipeg last year. This year the competition comes to us, and we want our strongest players on the team.
About the Competition
Teams of 16 players compete across two divisions: Open (all ages) and Masters (50+). There are five categories: Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Men’s Singles, and Women’s Singles. Competition runs round-robin to determine rankings, followed by playoffs. Results count toward each player’s DUPR ratings.

- Meet Pickleball Canada’s eligibility requirements to compete at Nationals
