On Monday, the PPA Tour Asia announced the first three stops of the 2026 season, which will take place in three different countries in Asia—each with its own distinct charm and personality.

The first three stops of the season are:
The MB Hanoi Cup will kick off the 2026 PPA Tour Asia season with the tour’s first foray into Northern Vietnam. Up to 1,000 PPA ranking points will be up for grabs in the competition, which will be held from 1 to 5 April at the My Dinh Indoor Athletics Arena. The MB Hanoi Cup, expected to bring an international flavour, will represent a major step into new territory in one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating capitals, and players and fans will surely be circling this event on their calendars.

Then, in May, the PPA Tour Asia will return to familiar ground in Malaysia, which hosted the first-ever PPA Tour Asia event and kicked off Season 1. This time, the tour will bring over the Kuala Lumpur Open, set to take place from 14 to 17 May. The tournament will again be held at 9Pickle, one of the tour’s loudest and most electric venues. Malaysia’s capital has quickly become a fan favourite, and the KL crowds will surely be ready to run it back in 2026.
The three-stop PPA Tour Asia schedule closes with the Macau Open on 28–31 May. Macau, China, brings yet another dimension to the tour with a glittering showcase of entertainment, luxury, and spectacle. Known for its dazzling skyline, world-class resorts, and next-level glamour, the compact city pulses with energy and excess. Macau offers a high-octane, lights-on stage for professional pickleball in the heart of the Pearl River Delta.
