World Tour Calendar 2023-24 announced
The PSA has announced its 2023-24 PSA World Tour calendar, with 36 events scheduled to take place across five continents between August 2023 and June 2024.
The season begins in Canada for the inaugural Windsor Cup, while the first Platinum event of the new campaign will then see France hold a major squash tournament for the first time since 1994 when the Paris Squash event marks its debut on the calendar at the end of August.
The Qatar Classic will take place in September, featuring a women’s draw for the first time since 2015, with the U.S. Open taking place the following month.
The Australian Open will rejoin the World Tour in November in Sydney in what will be the biggest PSA event held in the country since 2012.
2023 ends with the Singapore Open, HKFC Open and Hong Kong Squash Open at the end of November and beginning of December, before the tour signs off for the winter break with the New Zealand Open in December – followed by the WSF Men’s Teams.
2024 kicks off with the Gold-level Florida Open in what will be the State’s biggest ever PSA event. The Tournament of Champions then follows, with the first Platinum event of the New Year being staged yet again at New York’s iconic Grand Central Terminal.
The Windy City Open returns to the calendar at the end of February, and the tour returns to Egypt in April for the Black Ball Open and El Gouna International, while the biggest tournament in squash – the PSA World Championships – will be held in May, with the venue for that tournament set to be announced soon.
The British Open will return to the spectacular Birmingham Rep Theatre at the start of June, before the season wraps up at the PSA World Tour Finals at the end of the month.

“The 2023-24 season is set to be the busiest ever on the PSA World Tour and we’re excited to add a number of spectacular new locations onto the calendar,” said PSA Chief Executive Alex Gough.
“We begin with brand-new events in Canada and Paris and we’re delighted to stage our first major event in France for almost 30 years. Meanwhile, Australia has traditionally played a major role in the sport with many of the sport’s previous World Champions and World No.1s hailing from the nation, so we’re pleased to return the Australian Open to PSA World Tour level.
“Last season saw a number of intriguing storylines and huge battles play out across the campaign. The new season promises to be even more exciting, with the race for the World No.1 spot in particular as tight as it’s ever been. I hope squash fans enjoy following all the action on SQUASHTV.”
Action from events staged on a glass court will be streamed live on SQUASHTV – the OTT platform of the PSA. The PSA World Championships, PSA World Tour Finals, all Platinum events and selected other tournaments will also be shown live by PSA’s broadcast partners.
