What is Major League Quadball?

Founded in 2015, MLQ is the highest level of quadball in North America. The rules were originally adapted from the magical game of quidditch in the Harry Potter book series. The real-life version of the sport involves four balls and four positions. It incorporates a mix of elements from basketball, rugby and dodgeball.

The 2024 MLQ Championship, to be held August 17th - 19th, will feature the 12 best quadball teams in the U.S. and Canada competing across four fields at Troy Park on Aug. 17-19. The site previously hosted the MLQ Championship in 2021 and 2022, when the sport was called “quidditch.”
