2026 Premier Padel Calendar: Best Destinations to Combine Tournaments with a Padel Trip

The 2026 Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour is the largest in the circuit's history: 26 tournaments across 18 countries, from February in Riyadh to December in Barcelona. For padel players who want to combine watching the professional game with training and travel, this is the best calendar the tour has produced.

LaPadel Agency is an Official Partner of Premier Padel Andalucia Sevilla P2 and organises padel travel packages around tournament stops in Spain and Europe. This guide covers the key stops on the 2026 calendar, with practical advice on which destinations offer the best combination of match attendance and padel training for visiting players.

How the 2026 Premier Padel Calendar Is Structured

The 2026 tour is organised into four categories, each with different ranking points and prize money. Understanding the structure helps you choose which events to attend based on the level of competition and the atmosphere you want.

• Majors: the highest tier. Four events in 2026: Qatar (postponed from April, new date to be confirmed), Italy in Rome (1 to 7 June), France in Paris (7 to 13 September), and Mexico in Acapulco (23 to 29 November). The world's top-ranked players compete for 2,000 FIP ranking points each.

• P1 events: one step below a Major but still elite-level competition. 12 tournaments in 2026, including Valencia (8 to 14 June), Malaga (13 to 19 July), London (3 to 9 August), Madrid, Miami, and Milan. Winners earn 1,000 ranking points.

• P2 events: 500 ranking points for the winner. Held in both established padel markets such as Valladolid and Rotterdam, and emerging markets including Pretoria (South Africa, 27 July to 2 August) — the first Premier Padel event on the African continent.

• The Finals: the season ends in Barcelona (7 to 13 December) with the top 16 players from each draw competing in a knockout format to determine the season champion.

Tickets for all events are available through the official Premier Padel tournament platform. Semifinals and finals at Majors and P1 events sell out in advance, particularly in Spain.

The Six Spanish Stops  Best for Combining Matches with Training

Spain hosts six Premier Padel events in 2026, more than any other country on the calendar. For visiting players, the Spanish stops offer the most complete combination of match attendance, professional coaching access, and padel infrastructure.

Gijon P2  February

The first Spanish stop of the 2026 season. Gijon sits on the Cantabrian coast in Asturias and hosted the opening Spanish event of the tour. The atmosphere is strong for a P2 event and the stadium typically sells out for the weekend sessions. A good option for players who want an early-season trip without the summer crowds.

Valencia P1  8 to 14 June

Valencia makes its Premier Padel debut in 2026, joining the calendar as a P1 event. The city has a long tradition in padel from the World Padel Tour era and a dense network of clubs. The Valencia P1 takes place in the same week as LaPadel Agency's padel experiences in Valencia, making it an ideal combination stop for players who want to train and watch.

Valladolid P2  22 to 28 June

Valladolid is one of the established Spanish stops on the tour, drawing strong crowds from across Castile. The P2 format means a wider draw and more matches across the week. Less international visitor pressure than the P1 events, making tickets easier to access.

Malaga P1  13 to 19 July

The Malaga P1 is one of the most anticipated Spanish stops of the season. Malaga's padel infrastructure is among the strongest on the Costa del Sol, and the July event coincides with the peak of the summer training season in the region. LaPadel Agency runs padel camps in Malaga year-round, including intensive coaching with coaches who have direct connections to the professional circuit. See our Malaga padel experiences for camp options during the Malaga P1 window.

Madrid P1  October

Madrid is one of the strongest padel cities in Spain, with the Caja Magica — a venue that hosted World Padel Tour events for years — as the main competition site. The Madrid P1 draws some of the largest crowds of the Spanish season. Training options in Madrid during the event week are available through LaPadel Agency.

Barcelona Finals  7 to 13 December

The Premier Padel Finals at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona close the 2026 season. This is the highest-demand event on the Spanish calendar, with semifinals and finals selling out months in advance. Only the top 16 players from each draw qualify. For padel players, combining the Finals with a training camp in Barcelona is one of the most complete padel trips available in Europe. See our guide on planning a padel trip around the Premier Padel Finals and our Barcelona Padel Camp and Hotel package for the Finals week format.

Key International Stops Worth Planning a Trip Around

Rome Italy Major  1 to 7 June

The Italy Major at Foro Italico in Rome is one of the most prestigious events on the calendar. A Major-level draw means the complete top-ranked field, with the world's best pairs competing across a full week. Foro Italico is a sporting venue with historical significance, and the atmosphere for padel at this level in Rome is one of the most unusual on the circuit.

Paris Major  7 to 13 September

Paris hosts one of the four 2026 Majors for the second consecutive year. The French capital's padel scene has grown significantly and the Major attracts strong attendance across the week. September in Paris offers good travel conditions and the Major format guarantees the full field of top-ranked players.

London P1  3 to 9 August

London makes its Premier Padel debut in 2026 as a P1 event. The UK's padel market has grown rapidly and the London event represents a significant expansion of the tour's reach. For players based in the UK or Northern Europe, this is the closest elite padel has come to home for most of the audience.

Pretoria P2  27 July to 2 August

Pretoria marks Premier Padel's first event in Africa. South Africa has a growing padel community and the P2 format will introduce the professional circuit to a new market. A more unusual destination for padel travel, but notable as a first-of-its-kind event on the global calendar.
