The scale of this year's tournament doubled compared to the previous year, spanning eight markets: Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and India.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Club Med resorts in Bintan, Kani, and Phuket feature padel courts, with plans to add facilities at Club Med Borneo by the end of 2026. Outside this region, Club Med South Africa also offers padel facilities. National qualifiers kicked off in July 2026, with events held in Bangkok (August 2), Hong Kong (August 22), Sydney (August 30), Tokyo (September 6), and Kuala Lumpur (September 11–13); upcoming legs include Singapore (October 1–4) and Taiwan (October 9).
Winners from each leg will advance to the "Grand Slam" finals, held at Club Med Phuket from November 30 to December 3, 2026. This four-night event features competitive matches, masterclasses, and workshops, with prizes provided by sports equipment manufacturer Babolat.
Additionally, the company has partnered with the Padel Series as its official lifestyle partner. This tour is expected to attract over 2,000 participants across Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Dubai, culminating in regional finals in November 2026.
Padel is more than just a sport; it is a joyful way for people to connect, have fun, and create shared memories. Last year’s inaugural Padel Cup revealed the immense enthusiasm for the sport across the region. Expanding the tournament to eight markets this year is a natural progression for our brand—we have always been committed to promoting active lifestyles, togetherness, and unforgettable holiday experiences.
