Manny Pacquiao’s Pickleball League to debut in 2026

Manny Pacquiao is expanding his sports empire with the launch of the Maharlika Pilipinas Pickleball Tour (MPPT), a new professional league sanctioned by the Games and Amusements Board. The league will feature an eight-franchise format representing different regions of the country and offer a prize pool of at least ₱5 million.

Inspired by the success of the MPBL, the MPPT will showcase men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles competitions. Pacquiao, an active pickleball player himself, hopes to help drive the sport’s continued growth across the Philippines.
