Barcelona will once again become the international hub of the padel business with the upcoming edition of the Padel World Summit (PWS), taking place from 26 to 28 May 2026 at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue. The event will bring together manufacturers, distributors, operators, investors and industry professionals to analyse market trends, explore business opportunities and accelerate the global expansion of padel.
Organised by Fira de Barcelona and the International Padel Cluster (CIP), PWS 2026 will further strengthen its position as the leading global trade platform for the industry. The new edition will feature more than one hundred and fifty exhibiting brands, ten padel courts for demonstrations and activations —two more than in twenty twenty-five— and an expanded exhibition area showcasing innovations in equipment, components, court construction, technology, and solutions for clubs.
Several major companies have already confirmed their participation, including Mejorset, Babolat, Playtomic, Skechers, Mondo, Ingode, Joma, Lusotendas, Endless, Padel Galis and Padelgest, underlining the sector’s rapid growth and professionalisation.
Insight, Innovation and Strategic Vision
Alongside the exhibition, PWS will host the Global Padel Conference, which under the theme Next Padel will explore six key pillars shaping the future of the sport: international expansion, new business models, professionalisation, training, the emotional impact of padel, and the implementation of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence.
The event will also strengthen its networking areas and its initiatives to support internationalisation, with dedicated promotional activities in high-growth markets such as France, Italy, Mexico, Chile and Southeast Asia. In addition, the Innovation Arena will provide a dedicated platform for startups across the professional padel ecosystem.
The celebration of the Premier Padel Finals in Barcelona highlights the sport’s increasing global appeal, now reaching more than thirty million players worldwide. Padel World Summit 2026 will build on this momentum by bringing the industry together to analyse, share and shape the future of the sector from a professional and business-driven perspective.
