Pick Your Country: Pickle Depot's World Pickleball Day Cup

Pickle Depot is hosting the World Pickleball Day Cup on 10 October 2026 at its Sentul Depot courts in Kuala Lumpur. The date lines up with World Pickleball Day itself, the global participation day the World Pickleball Federation has run every 10 October since 2020.

Entry runs RM250 per team of four, with a prize pool worth RM5K+ and podium prizes reserved for the top three teams. Registration is capped at 16 teams, 64 players in total, secured through the QR code on the event poster.

Tournament Details

• Registration: Open now via the QR code on the event poster. No separate closing date has been announced, only the 16-team cap itself.
• Tournament Date: 10 Oct 2026 (World Pickleball Day), 4pm to 9pm
• Venue: Pickle Depot, Sentul Depot, Jalan Strachan, Sentul West, 51100 Kuala Lumpur
• Registration Limit: 16 teams / 64 players (4 players per team)

Pick a Country, Not Just a Partner

Pickle Depot's own post asks players to "pick your country" and assemble a squad of four to represent it on court, a team event built around national colours rather than individual skill-rating brackets. The night is framed as a full evening rather than a straight knockout: welcome swag, competitive matches, podium prizes for the top three teams, and lucky draws worked in alongside the play itself.

Two Names Alongside Pickle Depot's Own

The event's own branding carries two names beside Pickle Depot and its padel-side sibling, PadelDepot: Lagree Atelier, the Solaris Dutamas Lagree fitness studio founded by Malaysia's first certified Lagree Master Trainer, and Tenplus. The poster lists all three as an equal, co-branded lockup rather than naming a single title sponsor, so what each brings to the night beyond its own name on the poster is not spelled out.

Sentul Depot has kept up a steady run of programming over the past two months: a padel clinic with visiting coach Judit Castillo announced in early September, a padel-league weekend (the MPA Circuit) on 29 and 30 August, a Showcourt hourly-rate promotion in late August, and a booking integration with Reclub in mid-August. The World Pickleball Day Cup adds a pickleball-specific, global-day tie-in to that run, built around a date the sport already celebrates worldwide rather than one the venue had to create on its own.

What Happens Next

With the field capped at 16 teams and no stated deadline beyond that cap, the practical question for anyone interested is how fast the QR code fills up. Pickle Depot has not said whether it plans to run the World Pickleball Day Cup again in future years.
