Pickleball is a new addition to the Invictus Games, combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Played with paddles and a perforated ball on a smaller court, it offers fast rallies, tactical play, and an accessible format for competitors of all abilities. 

The competition is delivered in a pairs format. The sport’s unique rules — including the non‑volley zone (“the kitchen”), the double‑bounce rule (for wheelchair competition), and paddle‑based play — shape a fast, engaging, and inclusive experience for competitors and spectators. 

All event details are subject to change to ensure the competition continues to prioritise the recovery and rehabilitation of the competitors.
