Amway will serve as the title sponsor of Major League Pickleball’s (MLP) regular season finale in Orlando, Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The sponsorship is part of Amway’s commitment to aligning with causes, events and activities that align with its vision to advance healthspan, or the amount of time an individual spends living actively and in good health.
This pickleball partnership highlights a fun, accessible way for people of all ages to stay healthy and active while playing a game that is rapidly gaining popularity across the US. Amway has a history of supporting health and wellbeing activities, particularly in the communities where it operates, and its energy drink brand, Amway XS Energy, has served as the exclusive sponsor of the professional pickleball team, the Orlando Squeeze.
“Pickleball has become much more than a sport — it’s a cultural phenomenon that is bringing people together across generations and backgrounds all over the world,” said Melodie Nakhle, Amway Chief Marketing Officer. “Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or competing at a high level, pickleball welcomes everyone. That spirit of community, staying active and supporting healthy living aligns naturally with who we are as a company and the business opportunity we provide.”
With a shared commitment to health, wellness and strengthening local communities, the collaboration is expected to deliver an experience for players, fans and partners that elevates the MLP Orlando finale as one of the league’s premier events.
“Amway MLP Orlando will be one of the most exciting events in league history and an incredible culmination of our 2026 regular season, with a collection of our best teams participating and a tremendous host team in the Orlando Squeeze,” said Samin Odhwani, MLP Commissioner. “MLP and Amway are eager to join efforts in leveraging pickleball as a health driver around the world.”
