The World Pickleball League (WPBL) has announced Jio World Garden as the host venue for Season 2, which will be held in Mumbai from January 24 to February 8, 2026.

Situated in the heart of Mumbai’s financial hub, Bandra Kurla Complex, Jio World Garden is one of the city’s premier event venues. It boasts world-class infrastructure and versatility, having hosted international artists such as Backstreet Boys, Bryan Adams, Slash, and Armin van Buuren, as well as Indian icons like Arijit Singh, AR Rahman, and Diljit Dosanjh.

Featuring six competing teams, marquee players, and celebrity franchise owners, the World Pickleball League Season 2 will be the first-ever franchise sports league to be held at Jio World Garden. This choice underscores the league’s rising stature and ambition to provide a premium, fan-centric experience. With this move, WPBL aims to enhance its live experience, create a more immersive setting for fans, and deliver on its promise of blending elite sport with top-tier entertainment.

Following a successful debut season at the historic Cricket Club of India, which introduced pickleball to a national audience, WPBL’s return to Mumbai promises larger crowds, stronger global participation, and a renewed focus on fan engagement, grassroots growth, and innovative storytelling formats. The iconic location will enable the League to create vibrant, engaging experiences that connect audiences with the game like never before.

Gaurav Natekar, Co-founder & CEO of the World Pickleball League, stated, “After a successful Season 1, we wanted a venue that could match the scale and ambition of Season 2, and Jio World Garden provides us that platform to continue the legacy. It’s iconic, centrally located, and offers us the flexibility to create a dynamic and engaging fan-first environment in Mumbai’s premier corporate hub. This is more than just a venue shift – it’s a step up in how we present the sport, connect with the audiences, and grow the WPBL experience into a truly premium product."
