PEAK European Pickleball League in Hampshire, England.
In 2023 the PEAK European Pickleball League was launched with a vision to unify the European pickleball scene. It established a centralized network of tournaments across five countries, including Portugal, Spain, England, Germany, and France. This league features a standardized point system, shared ranking platforms, and a consistent player experience.
The heart of the league lies in its competitions - the PEAK Opens, PEAK Masters, and PEAK Knock-Outs. The Opens and Masters comprise a Group Stage (Round Robin) followed by a competitive Elimination Stage (Single Elimination), where players compete for ranking points. These points contribute to an independent system called PEAK Ranking.
The league is the first of its kind and has emerged as a central hub for the growing community of pickleball players in Europe.
The 2024 season promises even more exciting developments, with new tournament stages in Munich, Lisbon, Nice, and the grand finale in Porto, Portugal. Beyond Europe, PEAK envisions future collaborations with international leagues, further solidifying pickleball's global standing.
