The World Premier Squash (WPS) is an innovative team-oriented squash league that has received backing from both the World Squash and the Professional Squash Association (PSA). This exciting new competition will feature international franchises competing with top-tier players, all while utilizing advanced technology and dynamic gameplay. The league's formation was officially announced by League Sports Co (LSC) on Thursday.

WPS is designed with a focus on team dynamics, athletic excellence, gender equality, and fresh scoring systems aimed at enhancing the viewer experience.

LSC is leveraging its expertise from other sports ventures, including the World Bowling League, which boasts high-profile investors like Mookie Betts and cricket icon Virat Kohli, to implement a progressive approach in squash.

Every aspect of World Premier Squash, from its structure to its presentation, is crafted to captivate current fans and attract new ones, especially with squash set to debut at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.

"With World Premier Squash, we are not merely launching a new league; we are establishing a new platform for the sport," stated Adi K. Mishra, Founder and CEO of League Sports Co, in a press release. "With the backing of the PSA and World Squash, we aim to create a global stage that promotes participation, connects fans, and introduces new revenue models for athletes. Squash has always required exceptional skill and intensity, and we want to make that energy visible and inspiring to audiences everywhere," he added.

William Louis-Marie, CEO of World Squash, expressed, "Our mission at World Squash is to enhance the visibility of the sport, making it more inclusive and a part of everyday sporting culture. We are excited to collaborate with League Sports Co to launch World Premier Squash, providing an extraordinary spectator experience that showcases the athleticism and passion of squash to new fans in iconic venues worldwide."

Alex Gough, CEO of the Professional Squash Association, remarked, "The PSA is dedicated to promoting the sport through innovation and collaboration. World Premier Squash introduces a fresh format, presentation, and energy that will engage squash enthusiasts during the PSA Squash Tour off-season."

World Premier Squash is anticipated to kick off in August 2026 at a prestigious venue, which will be revealed in the upcoming months.
