October is National Padel Month. For the first time in its history in the United States, October has been officially designated National Padel Month by the USPA. The initiative includes grassroots learn-to-play clinics, a nationwide New Player Program Finder on padelusa.org, and the inaugural USA Padel Awards ceremony.
US Open Padel Championships (October 2–4, Brooklyn). The tournament concluded at Padel Haus Greenpoint with a $40,000 Division 1 prize pool — the largest in tournament history. Anna Cortiles and Marta Arellano claimed the women's title, while Daniel Diaz and Jose David Sánchez Serrano swept the men's crown. The event set a new benchmark for professional padel in the United States.
Pan American Junior Circuit Finals (October 8–10, San Diego). Padel N9NE in San Diego hosted the Pan American Junior Circuit Finals this weekend, bringing elite junior competition to the US West Coast and spotlighting the depth of youth padel talent across the Americas.

US Women's Senior Team: best-ever international result. The US women's senior team earned runner-up honors at the FIP Senior World Cup in Buenos Aires, the best international finish in the history of the national program, signaling growing depth across the federation.
Premier Padel & FIP (week of October 10–18). The Oysho Milano P1 is currently underway. Coello-Tapia and Sanchez-Ustero continue dominating the tour after their Rotterdam P2 victories. Stupaczuk-Sanz have climbed into the top 4 of the FIP Race. The Kuwait event has been upgraded from P1 to Major status (October 23–31) following calendar adjustments prompted by geopolitical disruptions. The FIP has also opened applications for the 2027 international padel calendar to independent promoters worldwide.
Pro Padel League — $15M Series A (March 2026, still deploying). The PPL closed a $15 million Series A led by Rick Schnall, co-chairman and governor of the Charlotte Hornets (NBA), with Left Lane Capital and additional investors participating. The valuation reached approximately 10x the original seed round. Funds are being deployed across team infrastructure, player development at all levels, and major PPL events throughout North America. The league operates a distinctly American competitive format, parallel to Premier Padel, actively building its commercial partnership base.
