The Veolia Arizona Open will take place at the Arizona Athletic Grounds Sept. 14-20. The professional pickleball tournament will be the second tour stop of the Carvana PPA Tour’s 2026-27 season following the first “Slam” of the season, the Veolia Pickleball National Championships in North Carolina.
PPA’s first tournament was held in Mesa in February 2020, according to a release.
Competition in the Veolia Arizona Open is to include the biggest stars in pickleball, including Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns, gold medalists from February’s Carvana Mesa Cup Chris Haworth, Anna Bright, and Hayden Patriquin alongside Argentine Federico Staksrud and Arizona locals such as University of Arizona alum Augie Ge and 16-time PPA medalist Lindsey Newman.
