Starting in 2026, a new era for paintball tournaments in Germany will begin: THE LEAGUE – German Paintball Championship . This ambitious league format aims to provide a new home for paintball competition at the highest level in German-speaking countries and beyond. Players, teams, and organizers can look forward to a platform that sets standards – in terms of quality, organization, fairness, and community.
DIE LIGA is not only aimed at German teams, but sees itself as an open platform for all teams from neighboring European countries. This builds a bridge between established formats such as the DPL (German Paintball League) , the ICS , and other regional and international competitions. Anyone who loves tournament-level paintball will find a home in DIE LIGA – regardless of whether they are traveling from Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, or the Benelux countries.
The goal is clear: full leagues, a fair and performance-based structure, and the opportunity to compete with the best in sports.
The organizers of DIE LIGA have set themselves the goal of taking the sport to a new level. This means:
The best playing fields: Venues are carefully selected to offer players optimal conditions – with high-quality artificial turf fields, professional infrastructure, and state-of-the-art equipment.
Most professional referees: Fair decisions on the field are the foundation of any competitive sport. THE LEAGUE relies on highly trained and experienced referees who officiate the game with neutrality and competence.
A strong sense of community: In addition to the sporting competition, the focus is also on togetherness. Tournaments are intended to be places where players and fans feel comfortable – on the field, but also off it, where they can socialize together.
A central element of DIE LIGA is its performance-based game structure . Just like the traditional league system in other sports, promotion and relegation are introduced. This not only ensures excitement but also sporting fairness: Each team plays where it belongs based on its performance. Ambitious teams have the chance to fight their way up, while established teams are challenged to defend their position.
This creates a dynamic league that ensures exciting matches and continuous development in the long term – for both beginner teams and experienced professionals.
Paintball has long been more than just a recreational activity. In recent years, the competitive sport has become more professional, the community has grown, and interest from players and spectators is steadily increasing. With DIE LIGA, this sport finally gets the platform it deserves: a German championship that meets the highest standards while also being internationally compatible.
For the teams, this means a clear perspective, transparent structures, and the chance to compete at the highest level. For the spectators, this means exciting games, thrilling stories, and an event-like atmosphere that makes paintball even more attractive.
With the launch of DIE LIGA in 2026, a new chapter will begin. Quality, fairness, professionalism, and community are at the heart of the game. Teams from all over Germany and Europe are invited to become part of this development and work together to take the sport of paintball to the next level.
THE LEAGUE is more than just a new league format – it is a statement: for passion, for professionalism and for the future of paintball tournament sport.
