PPA Tour to make 2025 FOX National debut at Black Desert Resort Red Rock Open

The PPA Tour will make its return to FOX at this week’s Black Desert Resort Red Rock Open.

Championship Sunday action from Little Valley Sports Complex will be available exclusively on FOX from 4:30-6:30pm ET, taking over the network following the Major League Soccer contest between St. Louis City FC and Austin FC.

 

This will be the fifth time since 2024 that the PPA Tour has had an exclusive slot on a major TV network, with three stints coming on FOX and one on CBS.

Those windows have brought in over 1.4 million combined viewers, with the highest mark being 501,000 viewers in the FOX window at the 2024 Carvana Mesa Cup.

In addition to the live FOX slot on Sunday, this event will also be featured on other FOX networks on Friday and Saturday. Quarterfinal men’s and women’s doubles action will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 2 from 6:30-8:30pm ET on Friday, while Saturday’s best semifinal matches will be replayed on Fox Sports 1 from 9:30-11:30pm ET Saturday evening.

These TV slots aren’t the only notable additions ahead of this week’s event, however.

This tournament (as well as next week’s Veolia North Carolina Open) will also test out a new format for PPA Opens that will have all semifinal matches be played on Saturday, just like at PPA Cups and Slams.

 

Put simply, there’s a lot to look forward to this week at one of the most storied stops on the PPA Tour.

Main draw action begins from St. George, UT with men's and women's singles on Pickleballtv and the Pickleballtv app.
