The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour, Spain’s most recognized amateur circuit, will return to Madrid on May 29, 2026. The Pádel G24 facilities will host the event, organized by Metodika Eventos and linked to the Rafa Nadal Academy.
National circuit with multiple venues
The Madrid tournament is part of a national tour that includes stops in Cádiz, Valladolid, Málaga, Sevilla, Valencia, Gijón, and Mallorca. As one of the first major dates of the 2026 calendar, it will feature team competitions across several men’s and women’s categories.
Format and competition
The event will maintain the format that has made the RNA Padel Tour a benchmark in amateur padel. Teams of six players will compete in knockout rounds, with each tie guaranteeing at least two matches. Encounters will be decided by the best of three matches, and captains must present lineups before each round, adding a strategic dimension to the competition.
Categories and participation
Among the categories scheduled are Viper (high-level men), Veron (intermediate men), Energy (high-level women), and Stima (intermediate women). Registrations will remain open until May 26, 2026, with organizers expecting dozens of teams from Madrid and nearby provinces. Participants will receive welcome packs, and the event will include raffles, trophies, and activities connected to the amateur padel community.
Growth of padel in Spain
With padel continuing to grow rapidly in Madrid and across Spain, the RNA Padel Tour consolidates its role as a platform for amateur players to enjoy a professional-style competitive experience under the Rafa Nadal Academy brand.
