Premier Padel makes history. For the first time, a Premier Padel P1 comes to the United Kingdom — the biggest top-tier professional padel event London has ever hosted, staged inside the iconic Olympia London Grand Hall. €479,068 is on the line, and it arrives straight off the back of Málaga P1 — where Arturo Coello & Agustín Tapia lifted the title, and Gemma Triay & Delfina Brea claimed the women's crown. Britain's fastest-growing racket sport meets the world's best players.
London arrives one week after Málaga — momentum meets a brand-new market
Galán & Chingotto arrive as 2026 Race for #1 leaders and reigning Pretoria champions, having survived a deciding tiebreak there. Coello & Tapia come to London with a point to prove: Pretoria ended their run of 27 straight finals.

Tournament Overview
Premier Padel London P1 2026 runs August 3–9, 2026 at Olympia London in Kensington, west London. As a P1 event — the second-highest tier on the Premier Padel tour — the tournament offers €479,068 in total prize money, with men's winners earning €26,000 per player and women's winners €17,000 per player — a 53% pay gap that runs through every round of the draw.
The First Premier Padel P1 in the United Kingdom
London P1 2026 is a landmark event: the first Premier Padel P1 ever held in the United Kingdom, and the biggest professional padel tournament London has ever hosted. It arrives at exactly the right moment — padel has become the fastest-growing racket sport in Britain, with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) investing heavily in courts and grassroots programmes across the country over the past several years. A P1 in London brings the world's best players to a market that has been building an appetite for the sport for years.
What is a P1 Tournament?
The P1 designation represents the second-highest tier of Premier Padel events, below only Majors. P1 events feature:
- €479,068 total prize pool — nearly double that of P2 events
- Large main draws — up to 48 men's pairs and 28 women's pairs, plus qualifying
- Higher FIP ranking points than P2 events
- All top players are expected to compete
Straight After Málaga P1
London follows immediately after the Pretoria P1, where Galán/Chingotto and Triay/Brea both came through deciding tiebreaks to take the titles — and where Guerrero/Leal knocked out the world number ones on the way to the final. Those pairs arrive in the UK on a week's turnaround. London is also a rare stop off the CEST clock — the tournament runs on BST (UTC+1), one hour behind most of the rest of the European swing.

Tax on Prize Money in the UK: Withholding & the Foreign Entertainers Unit
The UK taxes non-resident athletes on UK-source prize money. Payments are subject to withholding by HMRC's Foreign Entertainers Unit, typically an initial 20% deduction on account at the time of payment. A player's final tax liability can rise as high as the 45% additional rate depending on their residency status and any applicable tax treaty between the UK and their home country. That makes London a notably higher-tax stop on the calendar than the tax-free Gulf events.

Three storylines at London P1
Coello & Tapia bring Málaga momentum to a new market
Fresh off winning Málaga P1, the world's top pair carries the tour's loudest momentum into London. Galán & Chingotto arrive defending their 2026 Race for #1 lead, while Lebrón & Augsburger, beaten Málaga finalists, arrive looking to go one better.
Coello career earnings →Triay & Brea: back-to-back champions, Race #1
Gemma Triay and Delfina Brea head to London having won both Málaga and Pretoria — the latter 6-2, 6-7, 7-6 in a 2h53m final — and lead the women's 2026 Race for #1. Paula Josemaría & Bea González, and Sánchez & Ustero are among the pairs looking to stop them.
Triay career earnings →Padel's biggest UK moment yet
London P1 marks the first Premier Padel P1 ever staged in the United Kingdom, inside the historic Olympia London Grand Hall. It arrives as padel has become the fastest-growing racket sport in Britain, with the LTA backing courts and participation across the country — a genuine test of whether the world tour can take root in a new market.
