Pickleball Royalty Hits KL: JOOLA Titans Tour 2026

Two-day pickleball extravaganza showcases global pros, community fun, and JOOLA’s innovative Pro V paddle in APAC debut.

From 7-8 April 2026, Kuala Lumpur is hosting the JOOLA Titans Tour. This event brings world-class professional talent and high-stakes exhibition matches to Malaysia. 

According to JOOLA CEO of APAC Tom Nguyen: “Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports globally, and Malaysia has emerged as one of Asia’s most dynamic markets for the game, with thousands of active players and a rapidly expanding network of courts and clubs nationwide". 

The Kuala Lumpur stop is held in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia in support of the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign. This partnership highlights the country's world-class infrastructure and readiness to host global sporting events. By featuring iconic landmarks like Merdeka 118, the tour showcases Malaysia’s unique urban experiences to a global audience.
