=== Television coverage ===

ESPN's programming announcement included a programme titled '''Pro Paintball 3v3 National Championship''' in its ESPN8: The Ocho schedule for 8 August 2026.[4]

Contemporary paintball coverage identified Dover Motor Speedway as the venue and advertised a championship matchup between Tampa Bay Damage and San Antonio X-Factor.[5]

The August television listing should be distinguished from the tournament's April–May competition dates.[1][4]
