TWO WEEKS TO GO!
In just 14 days, the doors will open on the biggest English OPEN we have ever staged.
Nearly 3,400 players.
Competitors representing 56 countries.
62 courts across three halls.
Two Championship Courts.
World-class professional players.
Six days of competition, atmosphere and unforgettable pickleball at the NEC Birmingham.
Player registration for the English OPEN has now closed—but there are still two ways to experience it in person.
1. Enter the Unity Cup and step onto court yourself, soaking up the English OPEN atmosphere while enjoying a fun, inclusive day of pickleball.
2. Come along as a spectator and see international talent, fan favourites and defending champions competing just metres away. Explore the retail village, enjoy the activations and witness the scale of an event bringing together players from across the world.
The photographs and highlights will show you what happened.
But they will not capture what it feels like to walk into three halls filled with courts, hear thousands of players and spectators, and realise just how far pickleball has come.
Two weeks today, it begins.
Don’t be the person watching everyone else’s experience afterwards.
Enter the Unity Cup or book your spectator ticket and be part of it.
