The Costa del Sol Mijas Open 2026, a major pickleball tournament, is set to take place from September 11 to 13 at the new El Gran Parque in Mijas. With 290 players participating across 17 courts, the event will feature 866 matches spread over 26 categories, including PRO, 3.5 and 4.5 levels, as well as age groups for players over 50 and 60.
The tournament, part of the national Pickle Pro Tour organised under the Real Federacion Española de Tenis (RFET), is free to watch and begins at 9am on the first day. The final day will see the five PRO finals, covering men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. Pickleball, a sport that uses a solid paddle and a lightweight plastic ball with holes, is noted for its smaller court size and the presence of a “kitchen” area where players cannot volley.
The tournament follows previous events in Madrid and A Coruna, offering visitors a chance to witness one of the fastest-growing racket sports in the world.
