Orlando, Florida, United States: The PGA Show – the world’s largest and longest running global golf business gathering – will return to Orlando’s Orange County Convention Centre (OCCC) next year with an exciting new addition: Racquet Sports at the PGA Show, a brand-new ‘show within a show’ that integrates the fast-growing racquet sports category into the industry’s flagship event.

Building on the momentum of the record-setting 2025 PGA Show, the 2026 edition, from January 20-23, will introduce multiple new offerings designed to broaden the event’s reach and industry impact.

The expansion of Racquet Sports at the PGA Show marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Show experience. Racquet sports participation continues to surge – with tennis up 33 per cent since 2020, pickleball growing 59 per cent since 2022 to 8.9 million players, and padel emerging as the world’s fastest-growing sport with over 25 million players – and has become a natural complement to golf, creating vibrant, multi-sport environments that drive member engagement and unlock new revenue opportunities.

Racquet Sports at the PGA Show will feature a dedicated Show Floor area for pickleball, tennis, padel, squash and other racquet sports product displays, and offer educational programming, live demonstrations and fun peer-to-peer special events. Event registration is open for qualified industry professionals at PGAShow.com.

“The introduction of Racquet Sports at the PGA Show is a natural and exciting next step in the evolution of the event, reflecting the growing crossover of racquet sports and golf,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions Vice President Marc Simon. “We’re building a dynamic platform where innovation, connection and opportunity come together, offering brands and professionals across both industries valuable advantages to grow their businesses, build new relationships and shape the future of the multi-sport club experience.”

More than 50 top racquet sports brands will showcase their newest products, equipment, apparel and technology, including market leaders such as Adidas Racquet Sports, Centerline Athletics, Gamma Sports, GEAR BOX, JOOLA Pickleball, Paddletek, Selkirk, Mizuno, Vulcan Sporting Goods.

The 2026 event also will welcome several influential racquet industry partners, including the Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA), Director’s Club of America, USTA, Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and the RADL Wire.
