Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026: Dates, Tickets, Schedule

Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026

In this guide, you will find what the tournament is and what the players win, the dates and the day-by-day schedule, the tickets and the free qualifying days. Then come who is playing, where it is and how to get there, how to watch it live, and what to know before you go.

What Is Dubai Premier Padel P1?

Dubai Premier Padel P1 is a week-long professional padel tournament, and one stop on Premier Padel, the world tour of the sport. The best men's and women's pairs in the world travel from stop to stop through the year. In Dubai, they will play for ranking points and a share of the prize fund.

The prize fund for Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026 is EUR 479,068, shared between the men's and women's draws. Premier Padel has not yet announced how the Dubai money will be split by round. The Milano P1 in October 2026 had exactly the same prize fund, and it paid each player as shown below. We expect the split in Dubai to be the same, or very close.

Gallop Global runs the tournament with the International Padel Federation (FIP), under the patronage of Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council.

Padel is easy to follow, even on your first visit:

• Players: padel is always played in pairs, two against two.
• Court: it is smaller than a tennis court and has glass walls. The ball can bounce off the walls and stay in play, so the rallies are long.
• Scoring: it works like tennis, and a match is usually the best of three sets.

What P1 means

Premier Padel has three levels of tournament. The four Majors are the biggest. P1 is the level below the Majors, and the winners of a P1 get 1,000 ranking points. P2 events come next. With that many points on offer, a P1 usually draws most of the world's top players.

How the week works

The week works like a ladder, with fewer pairs left each day:

1. Qualifying: on the first two days, lower-ranked pairs play for the last places in the main draw.
2. Main draw: from Tuesday, the top pairs join in. Each day, the pairs that lose go home.
3. Semi-finals: by Saturday, only four pairs are left in each competition.
4. Finals: on Sunday, the men's and women's finals decide the champions.

Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026 Dates

The tournament will run from Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 November 2026, eight days in a row, at Hamdan Sports Complex. This is what happens on which days, and where:

• Sunday 8 and Monday 9 November, qualifying: on the outer courts, with free tickets.
• Tuesday 10 to Friday 13 November, early rounds: matches on the outer courts by day, and a night session on Centre Court, the 7,000-seat arena.
• Saturday 14 November, semi-finals: on Centre Court only.
• Sunday 15 November, finals: on Centre Court only.

On the opening day, the organisers will also unveil a new show court in Dubai Opera Garden, facing the Burj Khalifa. They have not yet said what will be played there, or when. They have also promised activities for fans and families through the week, but have not published the details.

Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026 Schedule

The tournament will have two sessions on most days, and the times change at each end of the week:

• Day session: from 12pm.
• Night session: at 7pm on Centre Court.
• Qualifying days: play will start earlier, at 10am.
• Last two days: all play will be on Centre Court.

These are start times. Matches follow one after another on each court, so a session has no fixed end time. The women's final will start at 6pm and the men's final at 8pm on Sunday 15 November.

The organisers publish the order of play each day. It tells you which pairs play on which court and in what order, and it appears on the official Premier Padel tournament page and on Instagram at @dubaipremierpadel. Check it on the morning you go, so you can be at the right court for the players you want to see.

Which day to choose

The best day depends on what you want from it:

• A free day: you can watch from close up.
• The middle of the week: it has the most matches.
• The weekend: it has the semi-finals and finals on Centre Court.

Dubai Premier Padel P1 2026 Tickets

Tickets start from AED 45 on Platinumlist, the official ticket seller. Visit Dubai lists the full range as AED 45 to AED 1,800. The early-bird offer ended in July.

The price changes by day and by seat, and Platinumlist shows it only when you choose a date. Here is how to buy:

1. Open the Platinumlist page for the tournament. Use the button above.
2. Choose your day. Every day has separate tickets, so pick your date from the schedule above first.
3. Choose a ticket type and the number of tickets. The price for that day appears here. Check what the ticket covers before you pay.
4. Pay, and keep the ticket that Platinumlist sends you. Have it ready on your phone when you arrive.

Before you pay, know that tickets are non-refundable, cannot be changed and cannot be transferred. The same page also shows a banner about swapping tickets with other fans, so check on the ticket WhatsApp line, +971 50 140 8768, before you count on a swap. General access is for ages 5 and over.

VIP and hospitality tickets

VIP tickets give you three things:

• Seats: in the hospitality areas.
• Food and drinks: through the day.
• Parking: a separate VIP car park.

The exact package depends on the VIP category, and the organiser has not published VIP prices. To ask for a package, use the hospitality form on dubaipremierpadel.ae or write to info@dubaipremierpadel.ae.

Are the Qualifying Days Free at Dubai Premier Padel?

Yes. The qualifying rounds have free tickets. The only question is which dates they cover, because the official ticket page gives two different answers.

To get a free ticket, open the Platinumlist page and choose the date. The page does not say whether you must book it in advance, so if you do not see a free ticket for your day, ask before you travel:

• WhatsApp: +971 50 140 8768, from 9am to 9pm on weekdays and 10am to 10pm at weekends.
• Email: info@dubaipremierpadel.ae.

Ask in these words: "Are there free tickets for qualifying on [date], and do I need to book them?"

Who Is Playing at Dubai Premier Padel 2026?

The organisers have named these players among those expected in Dubai:

• Men: Agustín Tapia, Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán, and in earlier announcements Arturo Coello and Juan Lebrón.
• Women: Delfi Brea and Bea González, and in earlier announcements Gemma Triay.

Premier Padel had not posted the official entry list by 1 November, so look at its page before you choose your day.

Last year's champions in Dubai were:

• Men: Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello won the 2025 title, beating Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto in the final.
• Women: Claudia Fernández and Bea González won the 2025 women's title.

Dubai Premier Padel Location

The tournament will be at Hamdan Sports Complex, off Emirates Road (E611) at Exit 611, opposite Global Village. The complex is best known for its Olympic swimming pool, and for the tournament the organisers turn that pool into an indoor padel arena with more than 7,000 seats.

How to get to Hamdan Sports Complex

Plan to drive or take a taxi. The organiser does not mention any Metro or bus link to the venue.

• By car: Type "Hamdan Sports Complex" into your maps app and leave Emirates Road at Exit 611. General parking is limited and first come, first served, so arrive early on the busy days. VIP ticket holders have a separate car park.
• By taxi or ride app: Taxis and ride-hailing apps can take you to the complex. After a night session, many people leave at once, so book your ride home a little before the last match ends.

The semi-finals and finals will be on Saturday and Sunday evening, so if you plan to park on those days, arrive well before your session starts.

Where to Watch Dubai Premier Padel Live

In the UAE, beIN SPORTS will show Dubai Premier Padel live, because it holds the TV rights to the 2026 Premier Padel tour. For the early rounds, Premier Padel's own YouTube channel is the free option. These are your choices:

• beIN SPORTS on TV: with a beIN subscription, through your TV provider.
• TOD app: beIN's streaming app, for phones, tablets and smart TVs, with a subscription.
• Premier Padel on YouTube: free. The tour streams matches from the rounds before the quarter-finals on its channel, and posts highlights and replays every day.
• Red Bull TV: shows the quarter-finals to the finals free in many countries. Rights differ by country, so check whether it plays in the UAE before match day.

To watch on your phone, download TOD and sign in with your beIN account, or open the Premier Padel channel's Live tab:

Check the order of play on the morning of the match, so you know when the pair you want to see will be on court.

Things to Know Before You Go to Dubai Premier Padel

Security may search your bag at the gate, and the ticket page lists what you cannot bring or do:

• lighters and cigarettes
• sharp items
• animals
• filming, recording or live streaming the matches without the organiser's permission

Three more things to plan for:

• Food and drink follow the venue's rules, which the ticket page does not list. In the VIP areas, food and drinks are included.
• Night sessions can finish late, because matches run one after another. If you have work or school the next day, a day session is easier.
• The Opera Garden court is not at Hamdan Sports Complex. The organisers have not yet said what happens there on 8 November or whether you need a ticket.
