Premier Padel 2024 calendar dates and venues

2024, Premier Padel’s first year as a main circuit

Since its launch in 2022, Premier Padel has become one of the fastest growing circuits in the world sport.

More than 500 men’s players from around the world have competed in Premier Padel tournaments during its first season, playing at some of the most iconic venues in the sport’s history, such as the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris.

In parallel, more than 110 professional female players joined Premier Padel in March 2023. In addition, Premier Padel has secured multi-year broadcast deals to reach more than 180 countries and over 150 million households, while the first two seasons of Premier Padel attracted almost 25 million views on YouTube.

In August 2023, Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), together with the International Padel Federation (FIP), and with the backing of the Professional Padel Association (PPA) and the International Padel Players Association (IPPA), announced that a historic agreement had been reached with Damm, owner of Setpoint Events, organiser of the World Padel Tour (WPT), for QSI to acquire WPT with the aim of creating a single world professional padel circuit – called Premier Padel – from 2024 and under the governance of the FIP. The 2024 Premier Padel calendar will host the first season of the new unified circuit.
