How Much Do Women's Padel Players Earn?

Women's padel prize money is growing rapidly as the sport gains global recognition. Top-10 women can earn €100,000 to €300,000 per year from tournament prize money, while players ranked 11-50 typically earn between €30,000 and €100,000. A landmark achievement for the sport is that Premier Padel Majors now offer equal prize money for men and women — €525,000 per category — making padel one of the most progressive racket sports for gender pay equality.

At P1 and P2 events, women's prize pools are currently smaller than men's. A P1 women's winner earns €17,000 compared to €25,500 for men, and a P2 women's winner earns €8,500 versus €15,000. However, the gap is narrowing each season as broadcast revenues and sponsorship interest in women's padel continue to rise. The women's game has never been more competitive or more financially viable for professional athletes.
