U.S. Fistball Announces 2026 Competition Schedule

The United States Fistball Association (USFA) is excited to announce its 2026 competition schedule, featuring domestic tournaments, national team training camps, and international competition as Team USA prepares for the Pan American Championships in Santiago, Chile.

The season will officially begin on June 27 at the Swim and Sport Club (SSC) in Flanders, New Jersey, with the annual Summerfist Tournament. The event is expected to feature defending national champions South Jersey Fistball Club alongside Phoenix Sports Club, The Ice Boys, and host SSC. Summerfist has become a staple of the American fistball calendar and will once again serve as an opportunity for clubs to begin their pursuit of a national title.

Fistball will return to the spotlight on August 1-2 as SSC hosts its annual Sportsfest. The multi-sport event will showcase fistball alongside soccer and team handball, providing athletes and spectators with a unique opportunity to experience multiple international sports in one location. Sportsfest has become an important platform for introducing new audiences to fistball and growing the sport's presence in the United States.

While club teams compete throughout the summer, both the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams will gather for a series of training camps at SSC as they prepare for international competition. The following training dates have been confirmed:

• July 11-12

• August 8-9

• September 12-13

• October 10-11

  
  

The camps will provide national team players with valuable opportunities to train together and build chemistry ahead of the 2026 Pan American Championships.

The domestic season will conclude September 26-27 in Hackettstown, New Jersey, where the nation's top players will compete for the title of National Champion. The U.S. National Championships remain the premier event on the domestic calendar and are expected to feature the country's best talent battling for club supremacy.

Following the conclusion of the domestic season, Team USA will turn its attention to international competition. The 2026 season will culminate November 4-8 at Club Manquehue in Santiago, Chile, where the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams will compete against the top nations from across the Americas at the Pan American Championships.

With a full schedule of competition, training, and international play, 2026 promises to be another exciting year for U.S. Fistball. The USFA looks forward to welcoming players, supporters, and new fans throughout the season as the sport continues to grow across the country.
