Major League Pickleball Orlando Finale Sets Playoff Field

The final day of Major League Pickleball's 2026 regular season was held at a sports complex on the Walt Disney World grounds in Orlando, Florida. With six teams set to qualify for the postseason, the matches determined the remaining playoff berths, seeding and first‑round byes. Top contenders such as New Jersey and Dallas fought to secure a bye, while the host Orlando team looked to improve its standing in front of a home crowd.

The Carolina Hogs and Phoenix Flames saw their playoff hopes end after early losses at the Orlando finale, ending their 2026 campaigns with odds of less than one percent. Both franchises will now focus on rebuilding for next season as the 12 teams that made the cut prepare for the playoffs, which begin in Dallas within days.
