The Blade Axe House launches WATL-sanctioned Sunday summer league

The Blade Axe House will open its summer league on July 19, giving throwers a Sunday season that runs through Sept. 3 and costs $135 per participant. The venue lists the series as an officially sanctioned World Axe Throwing League event, with registration handled through its league page.

The Sunday format is the point. The Blade is not selling a one-night open throw, but a set schedule that gives players a weekly place to compete and track results over the course of the summer. The venue’s league listing also pairs the adult schedule with a youth option, and the separate youth page sets that division on Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m. for a $75 entry fee. The youth season starts July 19 as well, with playoffs listed for Sept. 13.

For anyone trying to get into league play, the details are straightforward: one start date, one end date, one price, and a recurring Sunday slot. The page does not list any minimum experience requirement, which makes the season an easy entry point for first-time throwers as well as regulars looking for a structured run.

WATL’s broader 2026 league structure gives the Blade’s schedule a national frame. The organization uses three seasons per year, and Season 3 runs July 13 through Sept. 13 with Weeks 1 through 7 set for gameplay and Week 8 reserved for playoffs. That means The Blade Axe House’s July 19 start lands squarely inside WATL’s summer window.

WATL also says it has more than 300 affiliated venues across 20 countries and was founded in 2017, underlining how the sport’s league model now reaches far beyond a single bar or entertainment venue. The 2025 league schedule extended seasons to 9 to 10 weeks to give venues more flexibility around weather or delays, a setup that fits the kind of steady, predictable Sunday slate The Blade is offering this summer.
