ST. GEORGE, UTAH · 2026
Huntsman World Senior Games — Pickleball
Games: October 5–17, 2026 · Pickleball: October 12–17 (preliminary)
THE EVENT
What it is—and why it matters.
The Huntsman World Senior Games official site describes two weeks of competition for athletes age 50 and over across 43 sports. Pickleball is a signature draw, with age singles, age doubles, mixed doubles, and skill-level doubles listed at Little Valley Pickleball Complex and SunRiver. Competition runs October 12–17 with play beginning at 8:00 a.m. daily, and the official page still labels the schedule preliminary and subject to change.
SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE
Build a plan, then check it.
Competition runs Monday, October 12 through Saturday, October 17, with play beginning at 8:00 a.m. daily and athlete check-in at 7:00 a.m. The official page still labels the schedule preliminary and subject to change, and there are no make-up days. One contradiction remains on that page: its day-by-day schedule and the official tournament listing both put open practice on Sunday, October 11, while a separate section further down the same page still says October 12.
