The Bears Are Back: 2026 MLP Season Is Underway
The California Black Bears are charging through the 2026 Major League Pickleball season, and we're just getting started. After opening in Columbus and battling through Austin, where the squad pulled off a thrilling 3–2 Super Sunday win over Florida in the DreamBreaker, the team is hungry for more.
Next up:
the Mid-Season Tournament in Grand Rapids (July 8–12), followed by stops in San Diego, Chicago, and last stop of the regular season at Walt Disney World. With six events on the calendar and a roster built to compete, the goal is simple: make the playoffs.
Follow along all summer for schedules, results, and roster news, and come cheer on the Bears in person. Let's go! 🐻
