The Paris Premier Padel Major returns for its fifth edition from September 7 to 13, 2026, at the iconic Roland-Garros stadium in Paris. This tournament marks the first event of its scale in the French capital, drawing top padel players to compete on specially adapted courts. Ticket sales begin on January 27 at 10 a.m., starting at €15.
The Paris Premier Padel Major, organized by the French Tennis Federation, will transform Roland-Garros—traditionally a hub for tennis—into a venue for padel, a racquet sport gaining popularity worldwide. Scheduled for September 7 to 13, 2026, the event features six courts, including one on the Philippe-Chatrier court. These courts, smaller than tennis ones, are enclosed by glass walls and fencing on synthetic grass, accommodating intense matches between pairs of players.
The tournament kicks off with qualifying rounds on September 7, followed by the first round on September 8, second round on September 9, round of 16 on September 10, quarterfinals on September 11, semifinals on September 12, and finals on September 13. Daytime matches start at 10 a.m., with evening sessions at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. After 6 p.m., the atmosphere shifts to an open-air afterwork vibe, complete with DJ sets, bars, gourmet food stalls, and activities like pétanque, mölkky, spikeball, and urban tennis.
Tickets, which grant access to both daytime and evening programming, begin at €15 for qualifiers and €25 for main draw rounds. Fans can purchase them starting Tuesday, January 27, at 10 a.m. via the official website. Last year's champions, including the men's pair Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, and the women's duo Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea, set a high bar for emerging talents and established stars to challenge.
This edition highlights padel's relation to tennis while offering newcomers a chance to discover the sport at a premier location in Paris.
