Olympia has been revealed as host venue for this summer’s London Premier Padel P1, as the sport’s elite circuit comes to the UK for the first time.
Taking place on 4-9 August as part of the 2026 Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour, the landmark event will be staged at Olympia following its major £1.3bn transformation.
Events specialists Sela have partnered with Olympia following its redevelopment into a fully integrated global destination for events, entertainment, hospitality and business.
Stewart Hosford, CEO of Sela International, said: “Announcing Olympia as the host venue and opening ticket sales marks a hugely exciting step in bringing London Premier Padel P1 to life.
“Olympia’s £1.3 billion transformation provides an incredible stage for the world’s best players to play in the UK for the first time. We can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable experience that introduces even more fans to the energy and passion of padel.”
Arturo Coello, men’s world no.1, said: “Premier Padel arriving in London is incredibly exciting. The energy of the city, combined with such an iconic setting, is going to make it a really special week.
“We’ve seen how quickly padel is growing in the UK, so I’m sure the fans will create an unforgettable atmosphere.”
Sela will lead the delivery and commercialisation of the tournament in collaboration with Premier Padel, and with support from the LTA.
Padel’s surge in popularity in Britain (LTA research shows participation rose from 400,000 in 2024 to 860,000 by the end of 2025) has been matched by a rapid expansion in facilities. By the end of 2025 there were 1,553 padel courts across 559 venues in Britain, compared with 870 courts at 293 venues in 2024.
Fans can access tickets through a phased on-sale window, beginning with a priority pre-sale on April 22, followed by an LTA Advantage Members pre-sale on April 23, before general sale opens on April 24.
