Tournament «Heineken Pickleball World Cup 2026»

   From 30 August to 6 September Da Nang hosts the first pickleball world championship ever held in Asia — eight days of play from group stage to final, with ticketed sessions running from 31 August. According to the organising committee and Vietnamese press reports, the event is expected to draw around 4,000 players from 80 countries and territories — which would make it one of the largest single-sport gatherings the city has staged.

   The venue is Tien Son Sports Palace, an indoor arena in Hoa Cuong ward, roughly fifteen minutes by car from My Khe beach. Beyond the courts, the organisers are running a World Market zone with equipment stalls, food and social activities, so a ticket buys a day out rather than a single match.

   Prices move with the day of play, which is worth planning around. The 3rd and 4th of September are cheapest — Baseline 250,000, Kitchen 350,000, VIP 500,000 VND. The 2nd and 5th sit between 500,000 and 1,000,000. Finals day, 6 September, is the peak: Baseline 1,000,000, Kitchen 1,500,000, VIP 3,000,000, SVIP 8,000,000 and VVIP 25,000,000 VND.

   Ticket prices by match day (each day is sold separately):

• — 3 and 4 September, group stage — Baseline 250,000 · Kitchen 350,000 · VIP 500,000 · VVIP 4,000,000 VND;
• — 31 August, 1 and 5 September — Baseline 500,000 · Kitchen 800,000 · VIP 1,000,000 · VVIP 12,500,000 VND;
• — 2 September — as above, but VVIP at 10,000,000 VND;
• — 6 September, finals day — Baseline 1,000,000 · Kitchen 1,500,000 · VIP 3,000,000 · SVIP 8,000,000 · VVIP 25,000,000 VND.

   Baseline seats sit furthest from the court; Kitchen is right by the non-volley line, the closest of the general tiers. If you only want one day of it, the group stage on 3 or 4 September is the cheapest way in.

   Practical notes: each account may buy up to ten tickets per transaction and you have fifteen minutes to select a tier and pay; children under one metre tall enter free but must share an adult's seat; under-18s are not admitted to the VVIP stands. If you want atmosphere without the finals-day premium, the middle two days are the value pick. Tickets are sold through Ticketbox.
