Squash Brackets Is a Game-Changer for Squash Fans

Squash, a sport bursting with global talent, dramatic rallies, and iconic venues (from the Pyramids of Giza to Grand Central Station) it’s always been a mystery why squash hasn’t fully tapped into fan interactivity. Enter Squash Brackets, a simple yet brilliant platform that finally bridges the gap between squash fans and the professional tour.

I wrote last year about the need for fantasy squash for the PSA, to drive engagement of fans, players and the tour; Squash Brackets ticks some of these boxes.

This tool lets fans predict the outcomes of PSA tournaments, round-by-round and player-by-player, bringing a sense of ownership and excitement to every event. Whether you're following the Egyptian Open or the Windy City Open, you now have a vested interest in each result. Every upset, every five-game thriller, every tie-break becomes personal.

But Squash Brackets does more than just entertain, it engages and it creates talking points. It builds community and crucially, it offers a fun, competitive outlet for fans at home. (it will look to add money into the equation one day but for now its free and fun, we can get into the ethics of gambling another time) Think fantasy football meets March Madness, but for a sport crying out for digital engagement.

With squash recently being added to the LA28 Olympics and a surge in investment across the tour, this type of fan interaction is exactly what the sport needs to grow its digital audience.

The PSA’s own data shows that squash fans are affluent, loyal, and tech-savvy; with a high proportion in senior decision-making roles. Platforms like Squash Brackets harness that passion and bring it into the modern age.

It’s free (for now), it’s fun, and it could become a standard companion to watching pro squash—just like match stats, live streams, and highlight reels.

For squash to reach new audiences, we need to embrace tools that create repeat engagement and build habits. Squash Brackets does exactly that.
