Pro Padel League Announces 2025 Season Schedule With Expansion to Spain and Mexico

Unrivaled Basketball League’s Wayfair Arena in Miami
to Host Opening Event of the PPL Season

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Pro Padel League (PPL), the world’s top professional padel league with 10 teams in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, today unveiled its 2025 season schedule, expanding the league’s event footprint across North America and into Europe.

Following a successful inaugural 2024 season, which featured events in Miami, San Diego, and New York, 2025 will see the PPL go international for the first time with events in San Sebastián, Spain and Guadalajara, Mexico. The first serve of the season will take place on June 19 at the home of Unrivaled basketball league, Wayfair Arena, a world-class venue on the campus of Mediapro’s state-of-the-art production facilities in Miami.

“This schedule is a defining moment in our journey,” said PPL CEO Mike Dorfman. “With Spain being the heart of the international padel scene, and Mexico, the birthplace of padel and home to one of our most passionate fanbases, our 2025 season isn’t just expanding — it’s going global.

“Our opening event at the home of Unrivaled, the newest women’s professional basketball league, is purposeful. Wayfair Arena is a cutting-edge venue that will provide an epic in-arena experience for our fans, but equally important is the direct connection to women’s sports as the PPL is the epitome of a modern sports league. We are growing the sport of padel globally to the benefit of the best players in the world – regardless of gender – and will engage and inspire a new generation of fandom.”

The PPL curated a roster of world-class host cities renowned for their vibrant cultures that set trends in fashion, music, food, art, and fitness, and align with the lifestyle of padel and the PPL brand culminating in New York with the PPL City’s Cup. The schedule is as follows:

  • June 19-22: PPL Miami (USA) at Unrivaled basketball league’s Wayfair Arena
  • July 10-13: PPL San Sebastián (Spain)
  • August 14-17: PPL Guadalajara (Mexico)
  • August 30 - September 1: PPL All-Star Festival (The Hamptons, USA)
  • October 16-19: PPL City’s Cup (New York, USA)

Additional information including venues, event matchups, ticket information, and how to watch will be announced in the coming weeks.

Each regular season event will have all 10 teams – Arkansas Matrix, Cancun Waves, Flowrida Goats, Houston Volts, Las Vegas Smash, Los Angeles Beat, Miami Padel Club, New York Atlantics, San Diego Stingrays, Toronto Polar Bears – competing in group stage play in both men’s and women’s divisions. The top four teams in each division after the group stage move on to contend for first, second and third place podium finishes and prize money. All matches follow a fast-paced format — best-of-three sets with unique padel rules like “Golden Point” scoring and a 10-point tiebreaker in place of a full third set.

The PPL season will include men’s, women’s and overall team standings determined by total points accumulated. Points are awarded based on the finishing position in the men’s and women’s divisions at each event. Overall team points at each event will be the sum of a team’s men’s and women’s points earned.
