Major Announcement: LUG x Fairgrounds Pickleball Leagues
Spring Pickleball Leagues are Officially Here
It’s like when all the Infinity Stones finally came together or the first time you had peanut butter and jelly. The new LUG x Fairgrounds Public Racket Club partnership is bringing two of the best to ever do it together in a partnership to create something bigger than the sum of its parts.
New for 2026, LUG Sports is partnering with Fairgrounds Public Racket Club to create the best new social pickleball league in the world. We’re bringing together LUG’s signature community of young adults and college students - who know how to compete and have a good time - with Fairgrounds best in class racket club and pickleball facilities.
As part of this groundbreaking new partnership, LUG will be launching new Pickleball Leagues across Fairground facilities throughout Canada for the 2026 season and beyond. Whether you’re new to pickleball or a seasoned vet looking to get out and play in a social sports community, the LUG x Fairgrounds partnership is mixing up the world of sports in a new and exciting way.
This is the real deal. Professional-grade courts, mint facilities, proper player lounges, warm-up areas, food and drink on site, competitive and casual divisions, playoff brackets, and all the merch and good times that LUG is known for…this is pickleball done right.
Spots in the new program for our inaugural season will be limited. We’re giving priority access to those that join our Waitlist and after that it goes live to the general public. Grab your spot by completing the form below.
