How to watch: Live streaming guide
If you aren’t lucky enough to be at the Palacio de los Deportes in Gijón, you can catch all the action from your screen. For early rounds and all courts, you can watch live coverage of all matches (including Courts 2 and 3) for free on the official Premier Padel YouTube channel. This is the best way to follow the early-day action and matches outside the main arena. For the later rounds and primary Center court action, Red Bull TV provides high-quality streaming globally. Depending on your location, matches may also be available on Canal (France), Sky Sports (UK/Italy), or beIN SPORTS (MENA). If you are in a region where the YouTube stream is blocked, using a VPN set to a different country often unlocks the feed, a technical expert suggested.
