SAN DIEGO – Ready to watch a rousing game of pickleball?

If so, you’re in luck: The 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships will take place at Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma from Nov. 15-23.

It will feature elite-level competition, with the most skilled players qualifying to participate in the prestigious tournament.

“Barnes Tennis Center will provide an exceptional backdrop, offering a dynamic atmosphere for both participants and spectators alike,” said USA Pickleball chief executive director Mike Nealy. “We are thrilled to honor the passion and talent within the pickleball community in San Diego.”

The national championships will build on the success of the 2024 tournament, which drew over 2,600 athletes from 47 states and 13 countries, along with more than 10,000 spectators.

“We are excited that the great team at USA Pickleball has chosen San Diego and the Barnes Tennis Center as the site for the 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships,” said Mark Neville, chief executive officer at Sports San Diego.

“We can’t wait to roll out the red carpet for pickleball players from all around the country who will be filling hotel rooms and making an impact on this beautiful city.

“They will most assuredly have a wonderful experience here in San Diego,” Neville added.

Last year’s event generated an estimated $3.6 million in economic impact for the host city of Mesa, Arizona. This year’s nationals will also feature community initiatives through USA Pickleball’s charitable arm, USA Pickleball Serves.

“We are thrilled to welcome the USA Pickleball National Championships to Barnes Tennis Center in 2025,” said Barnes Tennis Center’s chief operating officer, Jesse Steinberg.

“This is an incredible opportunity for San Diego to shine as a premier destination for the sport, and we can’t wait for players and fans from across the country to experience everything our city has to offer.

“With our award-winning facility, we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for both athletes and visitors, making this a truly memorable event in America’s Finest City,” Steinberg said.

Fans can watch all the action on QVC+ and HSN+, the official streaming destination, providing fans with access to this year’s nationals.
