Yes, pickleball is available on live TV through various platforms. PPA Tour events are streamed on PBTV, while MLP events can be watched on the MLP website, YouTube, PBTV, and select matches on CBS Sports, ESPN, and Fox Sports networks.
Pickleball, a racquet sport resembling a cross between ping pong and tennis, is still booming in 2025. The Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP) revealed that nearly 50 million adult Americans have played pickleball. The sport is growing so rapidly that the pickleball product market could reach as much as $4.1 billion by 2026.
Much of this growth is thanks to increased visibility with a growing number of television contracts with major networks, and now an entire channel dedicated to pickleball 24/7, called PBTV. For some, watching pickleball tournaments on TV is more entertaining than watching tennis.

MLP Tour Info
In 2025, Major League Pickleball (MLP) continues to operate as a team-based format, distinct from the individual, bracket-style play of the PPA Tour. MLP features franchised teams that compete in a regular season, leading to playoffs and the MLP Cup, similar to professional sports leagues like the NBA or NFL. Each event consists of doubles and mixed doubles matches, with teams earning points throughout the season.
A major shift in 2025 is the expanded schedule—MLP now includes ten regular-season events, a mid-season tournament, and a two-week playoff system, ending with the MLP Cup (October 31 – November 2).
