RacquetX 2026: Where Pickleball Meets the Future of Racquet Sports
If you care about where pickleball is going—not just who won last weekend—RacquetX is the right place for you.
RacquetX is a three-day racquet sports festival and industry conference bringing together pickleball, padel, tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis, and more under one roof. In 2026, it returns March 13—15 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with more than 5,000 attendees, 125+ companies, and more than 1,000 industry leaders expected.
That sounds big. It is. But what actually matters is who shows up and what gets discussed.
This isn’t just a fan expo. It’s where club owners, investors, operators, developers, equipment brands, and media sit down and talk about what’s working, what’s failing, and how the next five years of racquet sports will unfold.
And pickleball will very much be part of that conversation.
What Is RacquetX
Think part trade show, part leadership summit, part on-court demo experience.
You can walk a large exhibition floor featuring global brands, test gear on indoor courts, and sit in on sessions covering technology, AI in club operations, facility design, retention strategies, and market growth. The programming spans everything from paddle innovation and court construction to sports integrity and long-term industry sustainability.
It’s built for clubs, park departments, developers, campuses, investors, startups, established brands, and players who want to understand the business side of racquet sports.
For pickleball specifically, RacquetX offers a wider lens. It places the sport inside a broader racquet ecosystem, where cross-sport facilities, shared infrastructure, and long-term planning are shaping the next chapter.
If you’re running a club, building a facility, launching a brand, or simply trying to understand where pickleball fits in the bigger picture, RacquetX is one of the few events connecting the dots in one place.
