Park Place to power digital platforms, fan experience at PPA and MLP

Park Place Technologies announced on January 13, 2026 a multi-year agreement to serve as the official technology partner for the Carvana PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball (MLP). The deal positions Park Place to provide IT infrastructure and fan-experience technology at national tournaments, support digital platforms and broadcasts, and deliver educational donations to local schools.

At the top level this means tournament organizers will lean on a dedicated tech partner to handle the behind-the-scenes systems that keep events running and audiences engaged. Park Place will be responsible for the technical backbone that supports digital platforms and broadcasts, with an emphasis on improving operations and the spectator experience at pro and large amateur events. For players and local clubs, more reliable event technology can translate into smoother scheduling, more consistent live scoring and fewer interruptions during match play and streaming windows.

The agreement comes as both leagues expand their national footprints and ramp up production for remote audiences. The Carvana PPA Tour and MLP already draw significant attendance at key stops, and broadcasters and streaming platforms increasingly depend on stable, scalable infrastructure to deliver coverage. Park Place’s role is intended to reduce technical friction at venues, help networks and platforms integrate more cleanly, and support the growing expectation that matches be available live and on demand with a high-quality viewer experience.

Community-level benefits were built into the deal. Park Place will deliver educational donations to local schools in host markets, directing resources to communities where tournaments take place. That element recognizes how major events can leave a positive legacy beyond the courts, supporting youth programming and school technology in towns that host PPA and MLP stops.

For event staff and volunteers, having a single technology partner simplifies coordination. Tournament directors and facility managers can expect a clearer point of contact for network issues, broadcast feeds and platform integration. For fans, the practical payoff should show up as better court-side connectivity, more reliable streams and richer digital interactions around match coverage. For amateurs following the pro circuit, that means easier access to live matches and enhanced ways to track players and scores between tournaments.

This partnership marks a step toward more professionalized event tech across the sport. Expect Park Place systems to appear at upcoming tour stops, and watch for incremental improvements in live coverage and local community support as the agreement rolls out.
