Event Information

          • From October 31–November 2, Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch, TX, will host the 2025 Edward Jones MLP Cup, the exciting opener to the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships, running October 31–November 9. This high-stakes tournament reunites both Premier Level and Challenger Level teams for three days of intense action. Pool play leads into single-elimination brackets (a nod to MLP’s original format), with prize money and the first-ever MLP Cup title on the line.

            It’s a rare chance for fans to see MLP teams compete in person again after the 2025 season finals wrapped in New York City – and the perfect launchpad into a week of epic pro pickleball on the PPA Tour. The top squads will battle across three courts from Friday through Sunday, with the Premier and Challenger Finals closing out the event on November 2, setting the tone for the championship week ahead.

            At stake:

            - Prize purse across Premier and Challenger brackets
            - The inaugural MLP Cup title
            - Momentum heading into the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships (Carvana PPA Tour)
