Premier Padel 2026 Run-In: How to Watch From Bangkok

The Premier Padel season run-in, watched from Bangkok

Quick take. Five big weeks of pro padel are left in 2026, and three of them are in the Gulf, only three or four hours behind Bangkok. The early rounds are free on Premier Padel's YouTube channel; in Thailand the quarter-finals onwards are on beIN SPORTS.

The professional season is on its last lap. After Milan (12–18 October) the tour moves to the Middle East, crosses to Mexico and finishes with the Premier Padel Finals in Barcelona in December. For once the time zones are kind to us: evening matches in Kuwait and Dubai end around midnight in Bangkok, not at 3am.

Where the season stands

Men. Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia won the Milan P1 for their 12th title of 2026 and their fourth tournament in a row. They came from a set down to beat Juan Lebrón and Leandro Augsburger 4–6, 6–3, 6–2. That leaves them 2,840 points clear of Alejandro Galán and Federico Chingotto at the top of the ranking, and chasing a fourth straight season as world No. 1. Galán and Chingotto are the only other pair with a long list of titles this year (Gijón, Miami, Giza, Asunción, Buenos Aires, Pretoria and Madrid), so the rivalry is still alive.

Women. Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero won Milan, beating Bea González and Paula Josemaría 7–6, 6–3. It was Sánchez's 58th career title, equalling the all-time record shared by Gemma Triay and Alejandra Salazar, so her next title would be a new record. The women's tour is more open than the men's: Triay and Delfina Brea, González and Josemaría, and Sánchez and Ustero have each won several times this season.

What is left in 2026

Dates	Event	Where	Bangkok is…
26–31 Oct	Kuwait Major	Kuwait	4 hours ahead
2–7 Nov	FIP World Cup (national teams)	Doha, Qatar	4 hours ahead
9–15 Nov	Dubai P1	Dubai, UAE	3 hours ahead
23–29 Nov	Mexico Major	Mexico	about 12–13 hours ahead
7–13 Dec	Premier Padel Finals	Barcelona, Spain	6 hours ahead

Kuwait was a P1 until this season. After the Qatar Major was postponed in April, Premier Padel and the FIP upgraded Kuwait to a Major for 2026 only, to rebalance prize money and ranking points. So the next two weeks carry more points than usual.

The FIP World Cup in Doha is the national-team event: 32 teams (16 men's and 16 women's) at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex. It is a different feel from the tour, with players who are usually rivals lining up for their countries.

How to watch in Thailand

• Early rounds (rounds 1 to 3): free on Premier Padel's YouTube channel.
• Quarter-finals to the final: on beIN SPORTS in Thailand. In many other countries these rounds are on Red Bull TV.
• Highlights: published after each event worldwide, in English and Spanish.
• Timing: a 19:00 start in Kuwait is 23:00 in Bangkok; a 19:00 start in Dubai is 22:00. Mexico's evening matches land on Bangkok mornings, and Barcelona's evening session runs past midnight here.

What club players can take from the pros

Watching is free coaching if you watch with a purpose. Three things to look for:

1. Watch the pair without the ball. The best teams move together like they are tied by a rope: both up at the net, or both back. Club players in Bangkok often split, one up and one back, and leave a hole down the middle.
2. Count the lobs. The pros lob again and again to win back the net. Most club players lob far too little, and flat drives from the back hand the net to the other team.
3. Patience at the back. When the pros are pushed back, they let the ball come off the glass and reset with a high, deep ball instead of going for a winner. That is the habit that wins club matches too.

Play it yourself this week

Watching is good; playing is better. The tournaments page lists the Americanos, Mexicanos and tournaments at Bangkok clubs over the next 30 days, and our guide to Americano vs Mexicano explains how the formats work.
