Since we started tracking pro pickleball (including data from 2016 to 2025), there has been a huge influx of professional pickleball tournaments around the world. But how does the average fan keep track of all of them, let alone watch them?
Luckily for you, we've compiled a list of all the best ways to watch and follow all the pro pickleball tournaments in 2025, including your favorite pros like Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters.
How to Watch Pro Pickleball
1. Pickleball TV
Tours: PPA and MLP
Pro pickleball is growing fast. In 2024, the PPA Tour signed a broadcast deal with Tennis Channel and launched Pickleball TV, a dedicated streaming service for professional matches.
If you want access to every match from the PPA and MLP, Pickleball TV is the place to go. You'll be able to stream multiple courts live during tournament weekends and watch full match replays on demand.
However, it is a subscription service and without a subscription, you're limited to the main broadcast court and won’t get access to replays or alternate streams. That said, many featured matches eventually make their way to the PPA's YouTube channel.
2. YouTube Live
Tours: APP, USA Pickleball, Beer City Open, PPA Challenger, PPA International, NPL, WPL and more
YouTube is still the go-to platform for many pro tournaments, especially the APP (Association of Pickleball Players), which streams almost all of its matches live for free.
International events and smaller tours like the NPL and WPL also broadcast directly on YouTube, often with multiple courts covered at once.
PickleWave keeps a live directory of official YouTube channels for every tour, so you never miss a stream. Check it out here: Tour Profiles
3. Facebook Live
Tours: US Open Pickleball and other international tournaments
Facebook Live has become a common streaming platform for specific events, like the US Open Pickleball Championships. In 2024, the US Open streamed its full tournament on Facebook Live, and several international events have followed suit.
To keep up, follow the tournament pages directly on Facebook. You’ll get notified when they go live.
4. ESPN, CBS, and Fox Sports
Tours: PPA, MLP, APP
Major networks like ESPN, CBS, and Fox Sports also air select time frames from high-profile pickleball tournaments. These include finals, championship Sundays, and marquee matchups from the PPA Tour, Major League Pickleball, and even APP.
Some events are also featured on ESPN+ or CBS Sports Network, so if you’re subscribed to a sports streaming package, you may already have access. When a match is on national TV, be sure to support your favorite pros by watching.
We’ll post upcoming TV schedules on PickleWave whenever they’re announced, so check back often and follow us updates.
How to Track Pro Pickleball Scores
If you can’t watch live but still want to follow the scores, here are the best options.
1. PickleWave
Tours: PPA, MLP, APP, APP Next, PPA Challenger, PPA International, WPL, USA Pickleball
PickleWave is the only website that tracks scores across all of the professional pickleball tournaments around the world. We've been tracking pro pickleball since 2016, and we've built a database of all the different tournaments, players, and scores.
With our new Live Scores page, you can follow matches in real time across all the top tours. No need to jump between different websites or dig through event brackets.
2. Pickleball.com
Tours: PPA, PPA Challenger, PPA International, Major League Pickleball
Pickleball.com is the official tournament platform of the PPA and MLP. You can find draws, results, and live scoring here during tournament weekends. However, it does not include coverage of non-PPA events like APP or USA Pickleball.
3. UTR Sports
Tours: APP, APP Next, USA Pickleball
After parting ways with Pickleball.com in 2024, the APP tour moved all of its tournament operations to UTR Sports. This is now the official place to find APP match scores and draws.
4. Major League Pickleball
Tours: MLP
For live scores during MLP weekends, visit their official website. They post real-time updates, match histories, and results.
One caveat: MLP does not aggregate team results on their team profile pages. If you want a full history of a team's performance, check out our team stats page on PickleWave: MLP Teams
Final Thoughts
In 2025, watching and tracking pro pickleball is easier than ever. If you want full match coverage from the PPA and MLP, subscribe to Pickleball TV. For free live streams, head to YouTube for the APP and other international events. And if you want a one-stop place to follow scores across all tours, PickleWave is your best bet.
We’ll keep updating this guide as new platforms and events pop up, so check back often.
