Major League Pickleball has reached the halfway point in 2023. Rosters were erased following the San Clemente Super Finals in June and teams swapped between the Premier and Challenger Levels.
Today all 24 teams will draft to fill their rosters for the second half of the year. The league has taken steps every season to improve the draft process and this year, teams will be drafting live in person at City Pickle in Central Park.
The 12 Premier Level teams will draft the first 48 players starting at 9am ET. The Challenger Level teams will follow up that draft with their own selections starting at 12:30pm ET.
