The Carvana PPA Tour's 2026-27 schedule adds Chicago as a tour stop for the first time. The Veolia Chicago Open runs October 5-11, 2026 at Life Time North Shore Sport & Racquetball — an Open-level event worth 1,000 ranking points on the new World Pickleball Rankings, with spectator tickets starting at $25.
New PPA stops tend to bring a visible bump in local interest — more people trying the sport for the first time, more traffic at public courts in the weeks around the event. Chicago is already one of the deeper pickleball markets we track nationally, with dozens of venues across the metro logged in our directory.
Whether you're heading to watch the pros or just want to find a court to play on yourself this fall, browse every Chicago-area venue we track on the Chicago, IL court directory — court counts, indoor/outdoor, lighting and directions for each one.
