As the curtain closes on an extraordinary RTA Pickleball Tour 2025, one thing is crystal clear: this season was a milestone for European pickleball.
None of this would have been possible without the trust, commitment, and shared vision of our partners. We would like to express our sincere thanks to our Premium Sponsors Tourismusverband St. Anton am Arlberg, JOOLA and Pro Pickleball GmbH, as well as our Gold Sponsor Ski Arlberg – St. Anton.
Your belief in the RTA Pickleball Tour, and in pickleball as a fast-growing international sport, is what allows this tour to keep raising the bar.
A season to remember
The RTA Pickleball Tour 2025 exceeded all expectations:
more players, stronger competition, sold-out events, packed venues, and a level of play that shows just how fast pickleball is evolving across Europe. The tour has become a true performance pathway, rewarding consistency, commitment, and competitive excellence.
And the momentum continues. 2026 will be even bigger.
More events.
More prize money.
More international reach.
More opportunities for players and partners alike.
This growth is driven by one simple but powerful force: an ever-increasing number of passionate players, supporters, venues, and sponsors who believe in what we are building together.
Congratulations to our RTA European Finals players
A very special congratulations goes to all invited players of the 3rd edition of the Arlberg Pickleball Championships 2025 – RTA European Finals. Reaching St. Anton is not luck. It is the result of a full year of dedication: training sessions, travel across Europe, intense matches, wins, losses, and countless shared moments on and off the court.
To the medalists and winners across all divisions: outstanding performances.
To every finalist and participant: you earned your place.
We are proud of every single player who helped shape this season, and grateful for the spirit, sportsmanship, and community that defines the RTA.
Looking ahead
The success of 2025 gives us energy, confidence, and responsibility. We are already deep into planning what comes next and we can promise this: 2026 will take the RTA Pickleball Tour to another level.
Thank you to our sponsors, our players, our venues, and everyone behind the scenes.
See you on court again very soon.
