Premier Padel Pretoria P1 tournament
Entities: SunBet Arena · Pretoria · Bullpadel · Javi Garrido · Premier Padel
Overview
Premier Padel launched its first African event, the Pretoria P1, at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria. The competition began in late July 2026 (July 26–27) and runs through early August.
The indoor tournament is classified as a P1 event, offering €479,068 in prize money and 1,000 ranking points for both men’s and women’s draws. Because the venue sits at 1,339 m above sea level, organisers used a specially pressurised high‑altitude ball supplied by Bullpadel to counter the thinner air. Top teams such as world‑number‑one duo Arturo Coello/Agustín Tapia, Javi Garrido and other leading pairs entered, alongside South African wild‑cards.
Coverage began with live streams on Premier Padel’s YouTube channel, moving to Red Bull TV and Movistar Plus from the quarter‑finals onward. The event was also broadcast regionally on ESPN and globally on Red Bull TV, and featured a fan village and live entertainment.
