The Pickleball Champions League Asia (PCL Asia) (https://www.pickle.asia/blogs/pcl-asia-a-new-era-of-pickleball-across-asia) is bringing its Season 2 Philippine Sectionals to SM Mall of Asia on November 15–16, 2025, with eight elite club teams set to battle for national bragging rights and a place on the continent’s biggest amateur stage. The champion team earns a US$5,000 travel grant to represent the Philippines at the Grand Finals in China, where a US$96,000 prize pool awaits and the grand champion banks US$30,000.
PCL Asia is the biggest stage in Asian pickleball, building a club-versus-club pathway across the region for emerging talent. The league’s platform and format have expanded in 2025, culminating in Shenzhen’s August championship weekend—an event co-hosted with Ramsports (https://www.pickle.asia/blogs/ramsports-launches-official-e-commerce-platform-to-power-pickleballs-growth-across-asia) that underlined pickleball’s rapid rise in Asia.
This momentum highlights how pickleball in Asia (https://www.pickle.asia) is building stronger competitive pathways and drawing international attention to the sport.
