Major League Pickleball Opens 2026 Waiver Period 2

Major League Pickleball opened its second waiver period of the 2026 season on June 2, allowing teams to make roster claims on eligible UPA-signed, non-rostered players.

The waiver system gives teams another roster-building tool during the season, with interested teams submitting bids before the selection order is set. Claimed players can reshape team depth, while dropped players may become available during the same waiver window.

For followers of the professional game, the update is a reminder that pickleball is developing more mature league mechanics, with roster windows, bids and player movement becoming part of the sport's competitive storyline.
