Held from 22 to 25 October, the tournament featured a prize pool of over RM110,000, new junior categories and a weekend festival with 27 vendors.
If there’s one sport that keeps finding its way into our group chats and weekend plans, it’s pickleball.
From friends booking their next court session to beginners finally giving it a go, the excitement has been hard to miss.
That enthusiasm found a home at Paramount Cup 2026, which took place from 22 to 25 October at PLAYA Racquet Club @ PARC Subang.
Across four days, the event brought together competitive pickleball and community activities, with the Paramount Cup Festival on 24 and 25 October adding food, crafts and family fun to the mix.
Over RM110,000 in prizes raised the stakes
For those stepping onto the courts, there was plenty to play for.
Paramount Cup 2026 featured more than RM110,000 in prizes, with categories catering to different ages and skill levels.
The tournament gave players a chance to put their practice into action, face fresh competition and challenge themselves beyond their usual friendly games.
And for friends and family watching from the sidelines, it was a chance to get behind their favourite players.
Younger players had their place on court
This year’s tournament also introduced eight new junior categories across the U10, U12, U14 and U16 age groups.
The addition gave younger players more opportunities to test their skills in a competitive setting, gain match experience and build confidence on court.
It also made room for more families to be part of the tournament, with young players getting their own moment to compete.
A pathway towards the international stage
Beyond the prize pool, Paramount Cup 2026 carried another opportunity for players looking to take their game further.
As an APP Asia qualifying stop, the tournament offered local players a chance to qualify for APP’s wider tour.
For those with ambitions beyond the Malaysian pickleball scene, it was an opportunity to work towards competing on an international stage.
Giving back was part of the game
The tournament also included a contribution towards Shelter Home for Children.
Under the initiative, PLAYA pledged RM5 from each participant’s registration, with Paramount Property matching the amount, bringing the combined contribution to RM10 per participant’s registration.
It gave participation a wider purpose, connecting the competition with support for the community.
The weekend festival brought more to explore
You didn’t have to be holding a paddle to have a reason to drop by.
Held on 24 and 25 October, the Paramount Cup Festival expanded the weekend beyond the courts, with 27 vendors at PARC Hall.
Food, lifestyle offerings, crafts and kids activities gave visitors plenty to explore between matches, while free sustainable workshops added a hands on element to the programme.
For families and groups of friends with different interests, it offered a way to spend the day together, whether that meant following the competition or browsing the festival.
More than a date on the pickleball calendar
Paramount Cup 2026 brought several sides of the community together in one place.
The four day event paired the growing enthusiasm for pickleball with a weekend that also made room for food, creativity and giving back.
