The Headlines Are Clear: Pickleball Is the New Dating App

The transition is complete. We've emerged from the days of "pickleball is a retirement sport" to a new era where it’s the go-to activity showing up in dating profiles everywhere.

In fact, if you’re looking to meet someone... someone active, interesting, and maybe just competitive enough to keep things fun, there’s no better place than the pickleball court.

It’s fast-paced, social, and perfect for breaking the ice without awkward small talk.

That’s why Tinder is teaming up with Courted, our social pickleball mixer series popping up in four cities this year. Together, we’re creating spaces where people can make real connections, paddle in hand.

Whether you're showing up solo or with friends, Courted x Tinder has everything you need to mix, match, and maybe even flirt your way through the night:

• Dedicated “Singles Courts” where you can play and meet someone new
• Tinder Social lounges and conversation zones for easy, natural connection
• Free Tinder Gold giveaways for select attendees
• A welcoming, no-pressure vibe that’s all about meeting authentically as yourself

Tinder is all about empowering people to connect over shared interests, and pickleball just happens to be one of the most fun, serendipitous ways to do that.

It’s dating with a rally. Hanging out with potential. A serve that might just turn into something more.
