From 26 to 28 May, Padel World Summit will bring together manufacturers, operators, distributors and investors at the Gran Via venue of Fira de Barcelona, with the aim of defining trends and opportunities in a sector experiencing international expansion.
With the slogan “Where Passion Meets Business,” PWS 2026 will consolidate its role as an international trade platform for padel professionals, bringing together brands, manufacturers, distributors, clubs, investors, institutions, startups and global operators.
The event is jointly organised by Fira de Barcelona and the International Padel Cluster.
A professional meeting point for a growing sector
Padel already counts more than 30 million players worldwide and continues to expand into new markets. In this context, Padel World Summit positions itself as a professional meeting point for the different stakeholders that form part of the sport’s value chain.
The 2026 edition expects to exceed 150 exhibiting brands and will feature a wide exhibition area covering:
Companies such as Mejorset, Endless, AFP Courts, Babolat, Playtomic, Skechers, Mondo, Joma and Padel Galis have participated in previous editions.
The exhibition area will be complemented by ten active courts in the Play Arena, two more than in 2025, where product presentations, exhibition matches and brand activations aimed at a professional audience will take place.
International scope and conference programme
In 2025, 40% of attendees were international, with significant representation from the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, the United States, Portugal, Poland, Belgium and Mexico.
The event will also host the Global Padel Conference under the concept “Next Padel,” structured around different thematic pillars related to international expansion, business models, sector collaboration and the application of new technologies.
The programme will be aimed at decision-making profiles within the sector, including CEOs, investors, senior executives and business leaders.
Spaces for professional networking
Padel World Summit includes initiatives designed to foster connections between supply and demand, such as the Buyers Program and dedicated professional networking areas. In the previous edition, 275 scheduled meetings were held between buyers, exhibitors and investors.
The event will also feature an area dedicated to startups, the Innovation Arena, conceived as a space to showcase new solutions and encourage collaboration within the professional padel ecosystem.
Looking Ahead to 2026
With an expected attendance of more than 6,000 professional visitors, exhibition growth and strengthened international presence, the 2026 edition represents a qualitative step forward in positioning.
More than a trade fair, Padel World Summit aims to be the platform where the sector organises itself, connects and projects its next phase of global growth.
Barcelona will once again host in May the meeting point where passion for padel becomes business strategy.
