The Ultimate Pickleball League (UPL) is redefining competitive pickleball with a semi-professional, city-based format that brings together athletes of all ages, genders, and skill levels under one unified system. Built on the pillars of inclusivity, integrity, and intensity, the UPL provides a clear pathway for athletes to develop, compete, and showcase their talent on a national stage.

The league is structured into regional divisions that lead to a championship event crowning the nation’s top team. Every match is verified through the VAIR system (Visually Assessed International Rating) to support fairness, accountability, and competitive balance across the league.

From youth academies and junior development to elite semi-pro matchups, the UPL is building a complete ecosystem for player growth, fan engagement, and sponsor visibility. Backed by national partners like Leorever and Gravity Force, UPL represents the next evolution of pickleball — where passion meets professionalism, and every point moves the sport forward.

UPL exists to:
    •    Develop elite competitive players
    •    Provide structure, visibility, and professionalism
    •    Prepare athletes for the next level of the sport
    •    Build a scalable, regional league model with national impact

UPL proudly embraces its role as the proving ground for the next generation of professional pickleball.
