Thairath Sport to Broadcast WPC Asia Pickleball Open in Bangkok March 11-16

Thairath Sport announced on March 3, 2026 that it will be a broadcast partner for the WPC Asia Pickleball Open — Presented by Sports Mall x HUNDRED — scheduled for March 11-16, 2026 at MCC Hall, 3rd floor, The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi in Bangkok. The outlet’s announcement names Thairath Sport as the event’s media partner and places the six-day tournament at a central Bangkok venue.

Thairath Online described the tournament as an Asian-level competition and provided scale: "More than 470 athletes from 26 countries around the world will unite the international pickleball community in Thailand." That entry count and country tally come directly from Thairath’s copy and underline the event’s multinational field across the March 11-16 window.

For viewers, Thairath specifies the live stream location: "Follow the live broadcast on Facebook: Thairath Sport - Thairath Sport." The Thairath Online page also lists facebook, twitter, youtube, instagram, and tiktok under its Follow Us footer, but Facebook is the only platform explicitly identified for the live broadcast in the announcement.

The sponsorship line appears in two stylings across the supplied material. Thairath’s copy reads "WPC Asia Pickleball Open – Presented by Sports Mall x Hundred," while an Original Report reproduces the same title with the sponsor as "HUNDRED" in all caps. Similarly, the Original Report truncates the venue as "The Mall Lifest" while Thairath Online supplies the full venue name, MCC Hall, 3rd floor, The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi. These are literal variations captured in the announcement material and reflect differences between the outlet’s headline and other reproductions.

Promotional copy on Thairath’s page urges engagement with another exact line readers will recognize: "Be part of history at the WPC Asia Pickleball Open – Presented by Sports Mall x Hundred, from 11 to 16 March 2026." An Instagram post tied to the event uses a related media credit: "The WPC Asia Pickleball Open is teaming up with Thairath Sport as the Official Media Team."

Thairath’s March 3 announcement functions as the primary on-the-record media notice of the outlet’s role. The paper’s combination of a defined venue, a six-day schedule, and a quantified athlete entry (470+ players from 26 countries) gives fans and media partners a clear window for coverage planning: tune to Thairath Sport’s Facebook feed for live action March 11-16, 2026 at MCC Hall, The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi. The broadcast commitment also marks a high-profile domestic media presence for an Asian-level pickleball stop in Bangkok.
