The event is scheduled to take place from August 30 to September 6 at many competition venues, including Tien Son Sports Palace and Tuyen Son area, gathering about 4,000 athletes from 80 countries and territories.
This year's tournament is organized with two categories including National and Individual. In which, the National category includes 5 competition categories: Open, Kids, Junior, Senior, Master. The Individual category will register by age and submit DUPR (the most prestigious and popular pickleball ranking system in the world today).
A noteworthy point is the role of FPT Play when this unit not only undertakes exclusive broadcasting but also directly participates in organizational work. This helps to synchronously control from content production, signal transmission to distribution on digital platforms, thereby ensuring broadcast quality and viewer experience.
Having previously owned the copyright and broadcast many pickleball tournaments creates an advantage for FPT Play in building a viewer base, helping the upcoming tournament have a stable viewer base right from the preparation stage, contributing to improving communication efficiency.
This unit continues to apply new solutions such as artificial intelligence to personalize content. Viewers can choose multiple camera angles, follow in-depth statistics or access sideline content flexibly. At the same time, the transmission system is upgraded to ensure image and sound quality throughout the tournament.
In parallel with the World Cup, FPT Play also exclusively broadcasts the PPA Tour Asia 2026 system in Asia. This is a series of tournaments belonging to the leading professional pickleball system, expanding more viewing options for domestic audiences, and contributing to bringing this sport closer to the Vietnamese market.
