World Pickleball League (WPBL) has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Eurosport India to broadcast its second season across the country, strengthening the league’s television presence as it returns in a bigger and more ambitious format. After introducing pickleball to Indian prime-time audiences with its debut season in 2025, the league is set to scale up significantly in its sophomore edition.

According to a press release issued by the league, Season 2 of World Pickleball League will feature seven teams, with the addition of a new Jaipur franchise, and a substantially higher number of matches. Viewers will be able to watch all 120 matches live on Eurosport India, up from 90 matches in the inaugural season, marking a notable expansion in both scale and broadcast commitment.

The upcoming season will run for 13 days, beginning January 27 and will combine competitive pickleball action with live entertainment elements aimed at enhancing the overall viewing experience. Eurosport, the multi-sport brand of Warner Bros. Discovery, brings with it a strong global footprint, reaching audiences across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Commenting on the partnership, Gaurav Natekar, Founder and CEO of World Pickleball League, said the association with Eurosport India represents a natural step forward in the league’s growth journey. He noted that the collaboration would help the league reach millions of new viewers internationally, while reinforcing its ambition to build a global pickleball property.

Natekar added that Season 2 underlines how rapidly the league has scaled, with players from over 25 countries registering for the draft and representation from 18 nations were expected this season.

With an expanded match calendar and a sharper focus on “sportainment”, the league aims to deliver long-term value to fans, players, broadcasters, partners and franchise owners.
