Can Paintball Fit Go Back-to-Back?

The competition will be fierce, and all eyes will be on them as they attempt to establish themselves as a true dynasty.
Is This the Year for Edmonton Impact?
After falling short in back-to-back World Cup finals, Edmonton Impact has reloaded in a big way. With Marcello Margott, Tyler Harmon, and Raney Stanczak joining the roster, Impact has assembled one of the most experienced lineups in recent history. Will these veteran additions be enough to push them over the top and claim the season opener?
San Diego Dynasty: Can They Bounce Back?
Few teams in NXL history have dominated like San Diego Dynasty, but after losing multiple key players to free agency, the question remains—can they regain their championship form? With their signature style of play and a culture of winning, Dynasty will be looking to prove that even with roster changes, they remain a force to be reckoned with.

Major League Paintball Season Opener: The Tampa Bay Open
The wait is over—Major League Paintball is back! The 2025 season kicks off with the Tampa Bay Open, held at the legendary Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With over 271 teams registered, this event is set to be an action-packed battle featuring the best pro men’s and women’s teams from across the U.S. and around the world.
This year’s Tampa Bay Open layout is designed for high-pressure engagements, aggressive snake play, and fast breakouts. Teams will need to adapt quickly to capitalize on lanes and control the center of the field. With multiple key bunkers favoring both offense and defense, expect intense matchups and unpredictable momentum swings throughout the weekend.
Top Teams to Watch
The new-look Edmonton Impact are coming in hungry. With major roster changes in the offseason, they are looking to prove they are still one of the most dominant forces in the sport. But standing in their way is PBFit, riding high off their historic World Cup victory. Will PBFit continue their reign and solidify themselves as the team to beat? Or will another powerhouse squad rise to the occasion and steal the show?
