NATIONAL PICKLEBALL LEAGUE ANNOUNCES REBRAND TO CHAMPIONS SERIES PICKLEBALL (CSP)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.– January 28, 2026 – Effective today, the National Pickleball League (NPL) is becoming Champions Series Pickleball (CSP). This rebranding reflects our expansion into both professional leagues and a premier tournament series designed exclusively for players in the 40+, 50+, and 60+ age divisions.

Given the accomplishments of our player community—both on and off the court—there is no better name to mark the launch of our new era. Our players are champion athletes and proven leaders who have built remarkable careers and made meaningful impact beyond the field of play.

The caliber of people within CSP is humbling. As awe-inspiring as the talent is on the court, the quality of the individual is even greater.

In our new logo, you’ll notice a clear homage to our roots. We’ve preserved elements of the original NPL identity, including the pickleball icon and a similar font style. While our brand is evolving, our respect for where we came from—and the foundation we’ve built—remains unchanged.
