Padel
Premier Padel has landed on Red Bull TV! Get the lowdown on the tournaments on the calendar and when you can watch all the action.
Premier Padel, the official professional padel tour, is coming to Red Bull TV for the 2024 season. That means you can tune in for all 25 worldwide stops on the tour as they are screened live on Red Bull TV, with coverage starting from the quarter-finals all the way onwards to the finals.
This year will be the first season of the newly unified professional tour since the consolidation of the International Padel Federation's World Padel Tour into the Premier Padel organization. As such, there's an enlarged calendar with 25 tournaments across 18 countries and five continents.
Countries that are being visited include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Spain, Mexico, France, Venezuela, Belgium, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Egypt, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. There are multiple stops in France (twice), Mexico (twice), Italy (three) and Spain (four). One of the stops in Spain is the World Final, which will be held in Barcelona in December.

The 2024 Premier Padel calendar
Tournaments are split into Major, P1 and P2 in order of significance and ranking points. Majors are the tournaments with the most ranking points and prestige. P1 is a rank down from a Major, but will still draw all the established players on the world tour and will be in countries where padel already has a significant presence as a sport and grassroots participation. A P2 tournament will be in destinations where there's plenty room for growth for the sport.
At the end of the year is the Tour Finals, featuring the eight best male and female teams of the season. The four Major tournaments will be held in Qatar, Italy, France and Mexico.
The 2024 season kicks-off on February 26 with the Riyadh P1 tournament in Saudi Arabia. This will followed immediately by the first Major of the year in Qatar. The tour will then move to Mexico and Venezuela, before heading to Brussels and Andalusia in April. May will see a return to South America for Premier Padel, including first visits to Paraguay and Chile.
In June and July, the tour then returns to Europe, with a Major in Italy being the high point. August will serve as a mid-season break, before the action resumes in Europe and the Middle East over the next few months. During this time, Rotterdam, Dusseldorf, Sweden, Dubai and Kuwait City will be new locations for the Premier Padel tour.
The remaining two Major tournaments also take place in the latter part of the year, with Paris happening in early October and then a trip back to Mexico in late November. The main part of the season will conclude with the Milan P1 tournament, as it has in the past two years.
Premier Padel Tour Finals
The 2024 calendar culminates with the inaugural Premier Padel Tour Finals in Barcelona, Spain, from December 18-22. The Barcelona event will showcase the top-ranked pairs in the men's and women's Premier Padel tour competing against each to see if they can walk away with the final trophy of the 2024 Premier Padel season.
