Dubai Premier Padel P1 will return to Hamdan Sports Complex from November 8 to 15, with organisers expecting another rise in attendance after a record crowd in 2025.
The event, run by Gallop Global, drew 7,562 spectators last year. It will again be staged at one of Dubai’s main indoor venues, with four competition courts and two practice courts planned for the 2026 edition.
Organisers say the field is expected to include 240 players, with several of the sport’s leading names due to compete. Agustín Tapia, Juan Lebrón, Ale Galán, Arturo Coello, Gemma Triay, Delfina Brea and Bea González were all named in the tournament announcement.
Tickets went on sale on June 9, with early-bird general admission starting from Dh36. The tournament will run across the full week, with fan areas and activities around the courts.
Hamdan Sports Complex has staged a wide range of international events in Dubai, including swimming, basketball, badminton, tennis, volleyball and water polo.
Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Padel Association, said:
“Dubai Premier Padel P1 has become a landmark event for padel in the UAE and a reflection of the sport’s remarkable growth across the country”
“Following two successful editions and record attendance figures, we look forward to welcoming the world’s best players back to Dubai in November.”
“From the UAEPA, we are proud to continue supporting the tournament as it further strengthens the UAE’s position as a leading destination for padel in the region.”
Ivan Modia, Tournament Director of Dubai Premier Padel P1 and CEO of Gallop Global, said the event was still at an early stage of its development.
“Dubai Premier Padel P1 has grown significantly in just two years, but we see this as only the beginning,” he said.
“Every edition is an opportunity to raise the standard, challenge ourselves and deliver something better than the year before.”
Tickets are available through PlatinumList, with more information on the official Dubai Premier Padel website.
