San Diego to Host 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships

The 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships will take place at Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego from November 15–23, building on the 2024 event that had over 2,600 athletes from 47 states and 13 countries, along with more than 10,000 spectators.

“As the pinnacle tournament in our sport, the 2025 Biofreeze USA Pickleball National Championships in San Diego will feature elite-level competition,” said USA Pickleball Chief Executive Officer Mike Nealy. “The Barnes Tennis Center will provide an exceptional backdrop, offering a dynamic atmosphere for both participants and spectators alike.”

The 2025 edition marks the 17th year of the USA Pickleball National Championships. 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 initiatives through USA Pickleball’s charitable arm, USA Pickleball Serves.

“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 Biofreeze USA Pickleball National Championships,” said Mark Neville, chief executive officer of 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.”

Barnes Tennis Center is located five miles from San Diego International Airport and less than 15 minutes from downtown. The facility features 19 dedicated pickleball courts.

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