Summary

A brand new event in Tarragona!

For the first time in 2025, Premier Padel brings a tournament to Catalonia outside the traditional season-ending events in Barcelona: the Tarragona Premier Padel P1 will be held from 27 July to 3 August 2025 at the Palau d’Esports Catalunya, also known as the Palacio de Deportes Juegos Mediterráneos. Originally scheduled for Barcelona, the tournament was relocated to Tarragona for this edition, marking a new milestone in the tour's expansion.

Key information: dates, venue, prize money

The tournament takes place over a week, with the qualifying rounds on 27 and 28 July and the main draw from 28 July to 3 August. It is a P1 category event, awarding 1,000 FIP points to the winners. The prize money stands at around €474,500, according to data available on the Premier Padel website.

The Palau d'Esports Catalunya is a modern indoor arena with a capacity exceeding 5,000 spectators, used during the 2018 Mediterranean Games. Its infrastructure and logistics make it a prime venue for professional padel.
