Tickets on sale for Opening Weekend 2026

Matches will take place at the Sir David Wallace Sports Centre, Loughborough (LE11 3TU) on Saturday 31st October and Sunday 1st November.

The exciting curtain raiser to the elite level 26-27 season will take of a new twist this time around, with each team playing two matches over the course of the weekend, rather than just one.

It means four eight each day will be played across two courts - four on the MAAREE Court (women's) and four on the DYNAMIK (men's) - giving fans the chance to see both genders, if they choose.

Day ticket prices are £15 for an adult, £10 for seniors over 65, £6 for children under 15, and £10 for students (valid student ID required on entry), while a family ticket is £40 (two adults, two children). 

Weekend tickets are £25 for adults, £15 for seniors, £10 for juniors and £15 for students, (valid student ID required on entry), while a family ticket is £60.

Tickets secure admittance to the arena, where seats can then be chosen. To purchase a weekend ticket or tickets for both days, please click here.
