Premier Padel is back at Castello Düsseldorf for a second year, one week after Rotterdam and one week before the Milano P1. The prize pool is identical to Rotterdam's: €15,000 per player for the men's champions, €8,500 for the women's. Galán & Chingotto defend the title they won here last September by beating Coello & Tapia 7-6(7), 6-2, and the world number ones arrive straight from winning the Rotterdam P2 and the Paris Major. The two pairs are in opposite halves, so a rematch can only happen in Sunday's final.

Galán and Chingotto have lost six finals in a row to Coello and Tapia. Last year in Düsseldorf they beat them.

In 2026 the two pairs have met in eight finals. Galán and Chingotto won the first two, in Gijón and Buenos Aires; Coello and Tapia have won every one since, from the Italy Major in June to the Paris Major on 13 September, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(1). A title here is worth €15,000 per player, the same as in 2025, and 500 ranking points.

Tournament Overview

The CUPRA Germany Premier Padel P2 2026 is played from 4 to 11 October 2026 at Castello Düsseldorf. It is the second Premier Padel tournament in Germany, after the first edition in the same hall in September 2025, with €264,534 in total prize money according to the FIP. Men's champions earn €15,000 per player, women's champions €8,500, and each winning pair collects 500 FIP ranking points.

Three courts in Reisholz

Castello Düsseldorf is a multi-purpose event hall in Reisholz, in the south of the city, about ten minutes from the Hauptbahnhof by S-Bahn. For one week it holds three indoor competition courts: the centre court plus Court 2 and Court 3, built by MejorSet on a Mondo Padel Pro Blue turf, with Wilson Premier Padel as the official ball. The 2025 edition drew more than 5,000 spectators across the finals weekend with sold-out stands, and the 2026 semi-final and final sessions sold out in advance again.

Same pool as Rotterdam, same rate as 2025

Düsseldorf was a P2 in 2025 and stays a P2 in 2026, so unlike Rotterdam, which dropped from P1 to P2 this year, the champion cheques are unchanged: €15,000 for the men, €8,500 for the women. The FIP lists the same €264,534 pool for both tournaments. The draws are the standard P2 size, 28 men's pairs and 24 women's pairs, with the top four men's seeds and the top eight women's seeds skipping the first round.

The middle week of a three-week European run

Düsseldorf sits between the Rotterdam P2, which ended last Sunday with Coello and Tapia beating Stupaczuk and Sanz 6-3, 6-2 and Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero beating Josemaría and González 6-4, 6-4, and the Milano P1 that starts on 12 October. Three tournaments in three countries in 21 days, and a title in each pays a different amount: €15,000 in Rotterdam and Düsseldorf, €25,500 for a men's P1 title in Milano.

What is a P2?

A P2 is the third tier of Premier Padel, below the Majors and the P1s. In 2026 a P2 means:

  • €264,534 total prize pool, about 55% of a P1 and a quarter of a Major
  • Different pay for men and women: €15,000 against €8,500 for the champions, a 76% gap
  • Smaller draws: 28 men's pairs and 24 women's pairs, so the top seeds skip the first round
  • 500 ranking points for the winning pair, against 1,000 for a P1 and 2,000 for a Major

Tax on Prize Money in Germany: 15.8% Withheld at Source

Germany applies a final withholding tax of 15.825% on prize money paid to non-resident athletes: 15% under section 50a of the income tax act, plus the 5.5% solidarity surcharge on that amount. On a €15,000 men's champion cheque that is about €2,374 at source; on the €8,500 women's cheque about €1,345. Players resident in the EEA can opt to deduct expenses instead. That makes Düsseldorf one of the lighter tax stops in Europe, well below the roughly 25% withheld in Rotterdam the week before, and above only the tax-free Gulf events in Kuwait and Dubai later in the autumn.

What to watch

Three storylines at the Düsseldorf P2

Men's draw

Lebrón and Augsburger stand between Coello and Tapia and an eleventh title

Coello & Tapia beat Alfonso and Libaak 6-2, 7-5 in Friday's quarter-final and meet Lebrón & Augsburger, 6-3, 6-3 winners over Arce and Tello, in Saturday's semi-final. The pairs have met six times in 2026: Coello and Tapia have won five, including the Málaga final 6-2, 6-2 and the Paris semi-final 7-5, 6-3; Lebrón and Augsburger's only win was the Brussels P2 final in April. The bottom half holds the defending champions Galán & Chingotto, who face the unseeded Sanyo Gutiérrez and Maxi Sánchez Blasco on Friday evening, with Stupaczuk/Sanz against Di Nenno/Navarro in the other quarter.

Men's earnings race →
Women's draw

Triay and Brea defend the title that took 3 hours and 20 minutes

Triay & Brea won the 2025 final here 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 against Josemaría and Sánchez, the second-longest final in Premier Padel history. They lead the 2026 race on €197,000 per player with six titles, but have not won a title since the Madrid P1 at the start of September. Sánchez & Ustero have taken the last two titles, Paris and Rotterdam, and wait in the bottom half after beating Salazar and Osoro 6-1, 6-1. The top-half semi-final is set: Calvo & Fernández, 6-0, 6-3 over Ortega and Araujo, against Josemaría & González, who dropped one game to Guinart and Alonso.

The occasion

A sold-out finals weekend, and what a German win is worth

Germany has one woman in the world top 100 and no man inside the top 150, but more than 5,000 people filled Castello over the 2025 finals weekend and the 2026 semi-finals and finals sold out before the tournament began, at €39.50 to €59.50 a seat. Hering and Plümer, and Wunner and Lindmeyer, both lost their wildcard openers on Wednesday, for €500 and €1,000 per player. A first-round win would have paid €1,009 and €1,781. For the German game the number that matters more is the one at the gate.

Key Players to Watch

Both 2025 champion pairs are back together and both reached the last eight. One pair leads its earnings race, the other is chasing the world number ones who have beaten them in six straight finals.

Men's Draw

Arturo Coello

World number one with Tapia, Rotterdam and Paris champion, and 2026 earnings leader on €325,700 per player with ten titles. Lost the 2025 Düsseldorf final to Galán and Chingotto; in 2026 the pair has won the last six finals between them.

Agustín Tapia

Coello's partner. Earned €8,250 as runner-up in Düsseldorf last year; the title this week pays €15,000.

Alejandro Galán

Defending champion, 7-6(7), 6-2 over Coello and Tapia in the 2025 final. Second in the 2026 race with Chingotto on €274,400 and seven titles, the last of them the Madrid P1 at the start of September.

Federico Chingotto

Galán's partner and the best defender on tour. Has won three P2s this season, in Gijón, Newgiza and Asunción.

Juan Lebrón

Third in the 2026 race with Augsburger on €129,225. The pair won the Brussels P2 in April, the only P2 this year not won by Coello/Tapia or Galán/Chingotto, and plays Coello and Tapia in Saturday's semi-final.

Sanyo Gutiérrez

The unseeded veteran and Maxi Sánchez Blasco beat Gala/Jensen and then the sixth seeds Montiel and Santigosa 6-2, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals, where Galán and Chingotto wait.

Women's Draw

Gemma Triay

Defending Düsseldorf champion and 2026 women's earnings leader with Brea on €197,000 per player, with six titles including the Italy Major and the Madrid P1.

Delfina Brea

Triay's partner; the pair earned €8,500 each for the 2025 title after 3 hours and 20 minutes on court. A successful defence pays the same €8,500.

Ariana Sánchez

Lost the 2025 Düsseldorf final with Josemaría. Back with Ustero as Paris Major and Rotterdam champion, second in the race on €155,300.

Andrea Ustero

Sánchez's partner. Four titles in 2026: Riyadh P1, Valencia P1, the Paris Major and Rotterdam last Sunday, 6-4, 6-4 over Josemaría and González.

Paula Josemaría

2025 Düsseldorf finalist. Six titles this year with González, four of them P2s; third in the race on €142,635. Plays Calvo and Fernández in Saturday's semi-final.

Katharina Hering

A main-draw wildcard with Lena Plümer, both ranked just inside the world top 300. The pair lost their opener on Wednesday to Araceli and Lucía Martínez.

The First Edition: Düsseldorf 2025

Premier Padel came to Germany for the first time in September 2025, in the same hall, with the same P2 prize money. Both finals went against the form book: the world number ones lost, and the women's final became the second-longest in the tour's history.
