The 2026 Premier Padel season features 24 tournaments played from February to December across 16 countries: 4 Majors, 10 P1s, 9 P2s and the Finals in Barcelona. As of 12 October, twenty events have been played, the Milan P1 is under way, and three dates remain before the Finals: the Kuwait Major (26-31 October), the Dubai P1 (8-15 November) and the Acapulco Major (23-29 November).

This page is updated after every tournament. You will find the full calendar, the winners of each event, the points scale, how the Finals work and how to follow the tour on television in France.

The 2026 calendar at a glance

The tournaments and their winners

The dates are those of the official FIP calendar. They cover the whole week, qualifying included; main draws usually start a day or two later.

On the men’s side, the season boils down to a duel: Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia have eleven titles, Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto seven, and only Juan Lebrón and Franco Augsburger have managed to squeeze in between them, in Brussels. On the women’s side, the spoils are more evenly shared: Delfina Brea and Gemma Triay, Bea González and Paula Josemaría, and Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero have taken most of the titles, while Claudia Fernández and Martina Calvo won in London and Düsseldorf.

In Bordeaux, the only French stop besides the Paris Major, the women’s final produced the biggest upset of the season: Icardo and Jensen beat the top seeds 3-6, 6-1, 6-1.

What changed during the season

The calendar announced in December 2025 had 26 tournaments in 18 countries. Three decisions changed it:

1. February 2026: the European P2 scheduled for 14-20 September became a stop on the Hexagon Cup, the FIP’s team competition. The calendar dropped to 25 tournaments.
2. 16 March 2026: the Qatar Major, scheduled in Doha for 6-11 April, was postponed. It has not been rescheduled.
3. 7 May 2026: to compensate, Premier Padel and the FIP upgraded the Kuwait tournament from P1 to Major and Pretoria from P2 to P1, for the 2026 season only. The announcement cited operational disruption linked to the war in Iran.

That is why some websites still talk about 26 tournaments, and about a “Kuwait P1”: the late-October tournament is indeed a Major.

Major, P1, P2: what each tournament is worth

The Majors are the four most prestigious tournaments of the year, the equivalent of tennis’s Grand Slams. Points count towards the FIP world ranking and towards the Race, the calendar-year ranking that decides who qualifies for the Finals. Prize money by category has not been officially published for 2026; the Paris Major, for its part, offered just over one million euros.

The Barcelona Finals

The season ends at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, from 10 to 13 December 2026, for the third year running in the city. Only the top 8 pairs in the Race (the 16 best men and the 16 best women of the year) qualify. By mid-September, thirteen players had already secured their place.

The Kuwait Major, the Dubai P1 and the Acapulco Major carry a lot of weight in the race: between them, they award up to 5,000 points to the winner. We look at what is at stake in the next event in our Kuwait Major preview.

Where to watch Premier Padel in France

Canal+ has held the rights to the tour in France since 2022, under a contract announced to run until 2026. The Paris Major was therefore broadcast on the Canal+ channels. The early rounds of many tournaments are also streamed on Premier Padel’s official YouTube channel. No broadcasting deal for 2027 has been announced so far.

The Star Point, 2026’s new rule

The 2026 season is also the first with the Star Point: at 40-40, teams play two advantages, then a deciding point at the third deuce. We explain this rule, and why it does not yet apply in FFT (French Tennis Federation) tournaments, in our article on the Star Point in padel.

Play like the pros

What you see on the tour can be worked on at your club: the battle for the net, the lob that pushes opponents back, the smash that is placed rather than powerful. Our technique guides on the serve, the volley and the smash start from what the best players do. And for equipment, the SCUD Black Impact B3 follows the approach of the tour’s attacking rackets: diamond shape, head-heavy balance, 18K carbon.

In summary

• 24 tournaments in 2026: 4 Majors (Rome, Paris, Kuwait, Acapulco), 10 P1s, 9 P2s and the Finals.

• Finals at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, from 10 to 13 December, for the top 8 pairs in the Race.
