Today · Main Draw Begins, jump to bracket →Owner, Padel Earnings
The Premier Padel season restarts in Madrid after the longest break of the year: no tour match between the London P1 final on 9 August and qualifying week here. In London, Arturo Coello & Agustín Tapia beat Alejandro Galán & Federico Chingotto 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 for the men's title, and Claudia Fernández & Martina Calvo beat Triay and Brea 7-5, 6-3 for their first P1 together. Now the tour comes home: €479,068 at the Movistar Arena, in front of the biggest padel audience in the world, and one week before the Paris Major.
Coello & Tapia lead again, and Madrid starts the run to Barcelona
Coello & Tapia answered Pretoria by winning London, and lead the 2026 men's prize money race ahead of Galán & Chingotto. In the women's draw Triay & Brea still lead the race, but they lost the London final to a pair a decade younger.

Tournament Overview
The Comunidad de Madrid P1 2026 is played from 29 August to 6 September 2026, with qualifying at Club Pro Padel Coslada and the main draw at the Movistar Arena in central Madrid. As a P1, the tier directly below a Major, it carries €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% gap that runs through every round.
The Season Restarts Here
Madrid is the first Premier Padel event since the London P1 ended on 9 August: three weeks without a tour match, the longest break of the season. Everything from here runs almost without pause: the Paris Major follows immediately (7–13 September), then a European P2 swing, Milano, Kuwait, Dubai, the Mexico Major and finally the Finals in Barcelona in December. Madrid is where the second half of the 2026 season starts, and where the earnings race either tightens or breaks open.
No Defending Champions in Either Draw
The 2025 Madrid P1 was won by Martín Di Nenno and Leandro Augsburger, who beat Coello and Tapia in the final, and by Beatriz González and Claudia Fernández, who beat Triay and Brea. Neither pair exists any more. Augsburger now plays with Juan Lebrón, Di Nenno with Francisco Navarro, González with Paula Josemaría and Fernández with Martina Calvo. Four of the six 2025 Madrid champions are back in the draw, just never on the same side of the net.
What is a P1 Tournament?
The P1 designation is the second-highest tier of Premier Padel events, below only the Majors. P1 events feature:
- €479,068 total prize pool, nearly double a P2
- Large main draws, 48 men’s pairs and 28 women’s pairs, plus qualifying
- Higher FIP ranking points than P2 events
- Mandatory attendance for the tour's top-ranked players

Prize Money Breakdown & the P1 Pay Gap
The Madrid P1 2026 offers €479,068 in total prize money. Men's winners take home €26,000 per player; women's winners earn €17,000 per player. Same tournament, same arena, same week, but men are paid 53% more for winning it. The gap is identical at every 2026 P1 and runs through every round of the draw. Equal pay exists only at the Majors and the Finals in Barcelona, which is why next week's Paris Major pays both champions €50,000.

Tax on Prize Money in Spain: 19% or 24%, Depending on Your Passport
Spain withholds non-resident income tax on Spanish-source prize money at 19% for players resident in the EU or EEA and 24% for everyone else. For an Argentine player without EU residency, a €26,000 winner's cheque in Madrid loses roughly €6,240 before any home-country tax, about €1,300 more than a European rival in the same final. Spain hosts several stops every season, so the difference compounds across a calendar year.

Three storylines at Madrid P1
A two-pair race with one week of rest left in it
Coello & Tapia have won three of the last four P1/P2 events they entered, including London. Galán & Chingotto answered with Pretoria and are the only pair still close in the money race, while Lebrón & Augsburger sit third, and they have already beaten Coello and Tapia (Brussels P2 final) and Galán and Chingotto (Málaga semi-final) this season.
Men's earnings race →Can Fernández & Calvo back up London?
They lost the Pretoria final to Triay & Brea, then beat them a week later in London for their first P1 title as a pair. Triay and Brea still lead the women's money race comfortably, and Josemaría & González are second. Madrid decides whether London was a breakthrough or an upset.
Women's earnings race →Home crowd, then straight to Roland-Garros
Madrid is one of the biggest home dates of the year for the Spanish contingent: Galán, Coello, Lebrón, Yanguas, Josemaría, González and Sánchez all playing in front of a home arena. And it is a fast turnaround: the Paris Major starts the day after the Madrid final, with more than double the prize money on the line.
See the full prize breakdown ↓Key Players to Watch
Everyone arrives in Madrid on three weeks' rest, the longest break of the season, and with the Paris Major seven days away. Form from London is the best guide we have.
Men's Draw
Leads the 2026 men's prize money race with Tapia and won the last P1 played, in London. Spanish, and playing in Madrid in front of a home arena.
The most inventive shot-maker on tour and Coello's partner in every 2026 title. Lost the 2025 Madrid final: unfinished business here.
Pretoria champion with Chingotto and second in the race. A Madrid crowd favourite, and the man with most to gain from a home win.
Galán's partner; the best defender in the game. Their London final loss was decided in tight sets against the world number ones.
Third in the 2026 race alongside Augsburger, with a Málaga final on the résumé. Devastating at the net when the crowd is behind him.
Won this tournament in 2025 with Di Nenno. He returns as Lebrón's partner, chasing a second Madrid title with a different name next to his.
Women's Draw
Leads the women's 2026 race with Brea after titles in Málaga and Pretoria. She is Spanish too: Madrid is a home final if she gets there.
Triay's partner and the season's top women's earner. Beaten in the London final, so arrives in Madrid with a point to prove.
London champion with Calvo and a Madrid winner in 2025 with Bea González, one of the two women in this draw who has already won Madrid.
Fernández's partner and the breakout pair of the summer: a Pretoria final, then the London title.
Second in the women's race with González, Málaga finalist, and one of the most consistent players on tour.
The other 2025 Madrid champion, now with Josemaría rather than Fernández, and looking to defend a title she won with someone else.
Venue & Location: Movistar Arena, Madrid
The main draw is played at the Movistar Arena on Avenida Felipe II, the Comunidad de Madrid-owned arena in the Salamanca district that most fans still know as the WiZink Center, and before that the Palacio de Deportes. It was renamed in January 2025 after Telefónica took over the naming rights, seats up to 17,400 for concerts, and is one of the busiest indoor arenas in Europe. For the tournament it hosts three competition courts; qualifying is played earlier in the week on two courts at Club Pro Padel Coslada, north-east of the city.
