“EPIC is…”
A community. A challenge. A family.
More than a tournament, it was a weekend that brought the world together through pickleball.
These are the moments and memories that continue to define the EPIC World Championship 2026.
They came from every corner of the world. 🌏
They competed. They connected. They left as World Champions.
The response from the global pickleball community has been overwhelming — players talking about the friendships, the competition, the feeling of being part of something bigger than a tournament.

You are the epicentre of EPIC. Always.
To our incredible sponsors and brand partners, the Singapore Tourism Board, and the Singapore Pickleball Association — thank you for believing in this alongside us.

255 volunteers. One unforgettable world championship.
Team Nila — you showed the world what Singapore hospitality truly looks like.
From the moment the athletes landed, to every match they played, every local tour they experienced, and every goodbye — you were there. Every single step of the journey.
Athletes came from around the world to compete at EPIC, and what they’ll remember most isn’t just the pickleball. It’s how welcomed they felt. How cared for. How at home — in a city that wasn’t their own.
That’s because of you.
To every one of our 255 Team Nila volunteers: thank you for representing Singapore with so much pride, warmth, and heart. You didn’t just support an event — you made this World Championship truly world-class.
We are grateful. 🫶🏆
