USA Pickleball and The Pickleball Universe Expand Partnership Through New League Integration

USA Pickleball and The Pickleball Universe have taken another step in their growing partnership with the launch of a new integration connecting The Universe League to the MatchTime registration platform. The integration enables automatic USA Pickleball membership verification during registration, creating a more seamless experience for players while strengthening the connection between USA Pickleball, MatchTime, DUPR and The Universe League.

"This integration reflects our shared commitment to making organized play more accessible and connected for players," said Drew Thomas, Senior Director of Memberships, USA Pickleball.  "By simplifying registration and enhancing the player experience, we're continuing to build pathways that support the growth of pickleball at every level."

The Universe League features a year-round, four-season team competition format that culminates with the Universe Cup, providing players with an engaging team-based experience and a clear championship pathway. The Summer 2026 season is now open for registration, with all league matches continuing to be DUPR reported. As USA Pickleball continues to strengthen relationships with clubs, leagues and tournament providers across the country, partnerships like this help expand opportunities for players while supporting the continued growth of the sport.
