Pickleball Dating Show: The new pickleball series How I Met My Partner, was nominated in the Unscripted Category at the 11th annual SeriesFest in Denver, Colorado. The show is presented by Pickleballtv and shares stories about couples who first met while playing pickleball. It premiered during the festival and is now streaming online.
A Lighthearted Look at Pickleball Romance
How I Met My Partner was one of six entries in the Unscripted Category at SeriesFest. The show focuses on real-life stories of people who found love on the pickleball court. Festival guests got to watch clips of the series and try pickleball-themed tic-tac-toe at a nearby booth.
Pickleballtv shared its goal behind the show: “The one thing we wanted to capture was fun,” Pickleballtv said at SeriesFest. “You cannot hide yourself on a pickleball court—within two seconds, the true colors come out.” Four episodes of the show are currently available on Pickleballtv.

Real Stories, Real Connections
The show follows different people as they share how playing pickleball changed their love lives. Viewers meet Nicole, who is exploring dating as a single woman. Kat and Claire talk about their experience with a queer pickleball club. David and Karishma show real chemistry on the court. Nick, a matchmaker, helps players find love through the game.
“I have friends who have met their significant others on court, I believe it could happen.”
“I imagine myself finding someone I’ll probably end up with on the pickleball court.”
“I would so much rather meet someone in person than online.”
New episodes will be released during the 2025 Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships, which begin Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The show and tournament can be watched on the Pickleballtv app or website.
