Victoria Di MuzioNote:Rosters reflect the 2026 MLP Draft (February 27, 2026). Player assignments may change due to trades or free agency. Paddle sponsors listed reflect known deals — "TBD" indicates unconfirmed sponsorship. Three teams from 2025 (DC Pickleball Team, NY Hustlers, Nashville Chefs) did not continue into 2026.
