Singapore is making pickleball history this week with the EPIC World Championship from April 30 to May 3, 2026. One of the most ambitious amateur pickleball events ever organized officially kicks off today (April 30) at the Kallang Tennis Centre (Singapore National Tennis Hub). Over four days, the city-state hosts approximately 1,500 players from around the world, all competing for a share of a guaranteed prize purse starting at USD $50,000. The prize pool is projected to climb toward $75,000 by the time the final ball is struck.
What Is EPIC?
EPIC World Championship was designed from the ground up to celebrate the global amateur pickleball community. Unlike pro tours that cater to the elite, EPIC is built exclusively for amateur players (anyone rated between DUPR 3.0 and 5.0), making it one of the largest competitive gatherings for recreational and club-level players worldwide.
Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and powered by DUPR, the event brings together music, food, drinks, entertainment, and world-class competition under one roof on the tropical shores of Singapore. Players who registered received a gift bag valued at over $250, packed with exclusive EPIC-branded gear, JOOLA equipment, hotel discounts, and collector items.
The Venue
All matches take place outdoors at the Singapore National Tennis Hub, 15 Stadium Walk — one of Southeast Asia's premier sports complexes, adjacent to the iconic Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang. Competition runs daily in two main sessions:
