BUILDING SOMETHING BIGGER THAN TOURNAMENTS
Instead of rushing into another national season, we're investing the rest of 2026 into creating the best competitive Spades experience possible. Every event played in Los Angeles helps shape the rules, structure, player experience, rankings, and championship format that will power Spades Bowl for years to come.
THE ROAD TO 2027 STARTS ONLINE
You don't have to be in Los Angeles to experience what's next for Spades Bowl.
​
Through our newest partnership with the BooksMade Spades app, players across the country will have opportunities to compete in online tournaments using the Spades Bowl rules and format.
While we test and refine our new tournament structure through the 2026 LA pilot, online play gives the broader Spades community a chance to learn the format, sharpen their game, and prepare for the 2027 season.
BooksMade Spades will also integrate into select live tournaments for digital scoring and stat tracking, helping us connect every game, every result, and every performance as Spades Bowl evolves.
