Paramount Cup 2026 Introduces Eight Junior Categories
A major addition to this year's tournament is the introduction of eight junior categories, covering U10, U12, U14 and U16 age groups across both singles and doubles competitions. The expanded junior programme reflects Paramount Property's efforts to make pickleball more accessible to younger players while creating more opportunities for emerging talent to develop their skills.
“At Paramount Property, our promise of being The People’s Developer shapes everything we do. It inspires us to create places where people can live well, stay active and build meaningful connections,” said Beh Chun Chong, Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer of Paramount Corporation Berhad.
Beyond the junior divisions, Paramount Cup 2026 will also feature singles, doubles, mixed doubles and team formats across various age groups and skill levels, allowing both newcomers and experienced players to take part.
Charity Initiative Gives Back to the Community
The 2026 edition will also incorporate a charity initiative in support of the Shelter Home for Children. For every registered participant, PLAYA will contribute RM5 from each registration fee, with Paramount Property matching the donation ringgit for ringgit.
Away from the courts, visitors can also enjoy a three-day bazaar featuring food, activities and family-oriented entertainment throughout the event.
APP Asia Qualifying Stop Opens International Pathway
Another major development for Paramount Cup 2026 is its recognition as an Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP) Asia qualifying stop. The qualifying pathway could allow strong-performing Malaysian players to progress towards international competition.
PLAYA, which hosted the inaugural Paramount Cup in 2025, returns as the Venue Partner and will stage the tournament across its indoor and outdoor facilities. “This is a huge moment for Malaysian pickleball,” said Brian Choo, Director of PLAYA Racquet Club.
Paramount Cup 2026 Registration and Early-Bird Fees
Registration opened on August 15, with players able to enjoy a 15% early-bird discount on standard entry fees until September 5. Adult entry fees start from RM360 per team, while junior singles and doubles entries are priced at RM150 and RM300 respectively.
