The French padel rankings are calculated and published each month by the French Tennis Federation (FFT) via the Ten’Up platform. Each player earns points based on their results over a rolling 12-month period in tournaments ranging from P25 (beginners) to P2000 (elite), with the number after the P indicating the points awarded to the winners. The rankings determine a player’s competitive level, eligibility for certain tournaments and seeding in competitions.

Amateur padel rankings in France
Introduction to amateur padel rankings in France
The vast majority of French padel players compete at amateur level, far from the spotlight of professional circuits such as Premier Padel. Yet the amateur rankings remain essential: they provide the structure for the entire competitive pyramid, from beginners entering their first P25 tournament to the best regional players aiming for higher categories. Understanding how the rankings work helps you choose your tournaments and track your progress from season to season.
How do padel rankings work in France?
The rankings are based on points accumulated over a rolling 12-month period: each new result replaces the oldest one if it is better, encouraging players to stay active throughout the year so their ranking does not stagnate or fall. The points earned depend on both the tournament category and the player’s finishing position: the stronger the draw and the further a player progresses, the more points they receive.
Tournament categories
Amateur padel tournaments are organised into categories, from P25 for players new to competition up to the most demanding categories, which bring together the highest-ranked regional and national players. The number after the P corresponds directly to the number of points the winners can add to their personal total. Players generally move up through the categories as their results improve, rather than aiming straight for the toughest tournaments.
How can you check your padel ranking?
You can check the official rankings for free in the padel section of the FFT’s Ten’Up platform. Simply search for your name or licence number, or filter by regional league, to find your exact position, updated on the first Tuesday of every month. The men’s and women’s rankings are published separately.
Why are padel rankings in France important?
Structuring competitions
The rankings help organisers create balanced tournament draws, preventing an experienced player from facing a beginner in the first tour. This structure benefits everyone taking part, whatever their level.
Motivation and commitment
Seeing your progress translate into a higher ranking is a powerful incentive to keep training and entering new tournaments throughout the season.
Developing talent
By identifying players who are progressing fastest, clubs and regional leagues can direct some of them towards more advanced coaching or even junior or competitive circuits.
Professionalisation of the sport
A reliable, regularly updated ranking also helps amateur padel serve as a credible stepping stone to the professional circuits, providing a basis for comparison recognised by the whole community.
Promoting padel in France
The visibility given to the rankings, including those of well-known figures who have taken up padel, helps bring the sport to an ever wider audience.
How can you improve your padel ranking in France?
Play in tournaments regularly
With rankings based on a rolling 12-month period, playing regularly remains the most important way to progress: a player who competes frequently in tournaments at their level builds a solid points record faster than one who plays only occasionally.
Training and coaching
Improving your technique naturally helps you climb the rankings faster. Working with a padel coach helps you correct technical weaknesses that cost you points in tournaments, from your serve to your volée.

Padel clubs
The growing network of clubs across France makes it easier to enter the sanctioned tournaments needed to establish and improve your ranking, including outside major cities.
Frequently asked questions
How often are padel rankings updated?
The French padel rankings are published by the FFT on Ten’Up on the first Tuesday of every month. They take into account the 12 best results from the past rolling 12 months, not a player’s entire career.
How do you get your first padel ranking?
A licensed player receives their first ranking after competing in and completing their first sanctioned tournament, usually in the most accessible category, P25. Before that, they generally appear as "NC" (unranked) on official platforms.
Are padel rankings the same for men and women?
No. The FFT compiles and publishes the men’s and women’s rankings separately, each with its own points tables and tournament categories.
Can a foreign player obtain a French ranking?
Yes, through the ranking equivalence system: top international players competing in France who have a FIP ranking can receive an equivalent French ranking, subject to certain conditions set by the federation.
Conclusion
The French padel rankings are much more than a table of numbers: they provide the structure for amateur competitive play, from your first P25 to the most hotly contested categories. To climb the rankings faster, focus on playing tournaments regularly, getting good technical guidance and using equipment suited to your level.
