PPL Miami Finals 2026: Preview & Schedule

The 2026 PPL Finals are scheduled for December 3–6 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. The published program moves from Thursday preliminaries to Friday quarterfinals, Saturday semifinals and Sunday bronze matches and championships. This October 7 preview contains no future results. The event page describes six direct entrants per division, with preliminary places contested through the remaining main PPL teams and qualified PPL II pairings. Guadalajara, the closing regular-season stop, is still ahead, so final main-team seeding and appearing pairs are not asserted here. The round-by-round program is confirmed; clock times will be labelled only after their timezone is independently established.

The official Finals page describes six direct entrants per division. The preliminary program includes the remaining main PPL qualification places and the successful PPL II pairings. The September 29 qualifier announcement confirms New York and Florida in the development men’s pathway, and Las Vegas and Toronto in the women’s. It places their preliminary competition on Thursday, December 3, with quarterfinal places at stake. Main PPL seed positions remain subject to the closing regular-season event.
