By EPF Communications ·
The European Pickleball Federation is delighted to confirm that the 2026 European Pickleball Open, powered by the Association of Pickleball Players (APP), will take place from 2 to 8 November 2026 at Ali Bey Club in Manavgat, Türkiye.
It will be the largest individual pickleball tournament ever staged on European soil, drawing players from all 28 EPF member federations and beyond.
Why Türkiye
The Turkish Riviera offers ideal November conditions — daytime temperatures of 20–24°C, calm Mediterranean light, and a venue that handles tens of thousands of athletes every year. Ali Bey Club has invested heavily in pickleball infrastructure and will deliver fifteen tournament-grade courts, four show courts and centralised support facilities.
What's new
- Individual format. Unlike the federation's continental team championship, the Open is open to individuals across all skill divisions.
- €250,000 prize pool. Distributed across pro singles, doubles and mixed doubles draws.
- All-in travel packages. Our official travel partner PSO Travel offers integrated flight, transfer and accommodation bookings.
Registration is open via Picklebook. We can't wait to see you on the courts.
