The Emaar Dubai Premier Padel P1 tournament will this year feature a striking new show court built inside Dubai Opera park, directly facing Burj Khalifa. The tournament runs for eight days, from November 8 to 15, 2026, with its main competition hub based at the Hamdan Sports Complex in Dubai.
Organisers have billed the new venue as one of the most spectacular padel courts in the world, with an official unveiling ceremony set for November 8. The Burj Khalifa skyline as a backdrop gives the court a visual identity that sets it apart from other stops on the global padel circuit. The tournament is held under the patronage of Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum, and this year's field is expected to include some of the sport's leading names, among them Agustín Tapia, Fede Chingotto and Alejandra Galán.
Tickets start from Dh45 via PlatinumList, keeping the event accessible to a broad base of fans as padel's popularity continues to grow rapidly among Dubai residents. The sport has seen a sharp rise in participation across the UAE in recent years, and hosting a tournament of this scale, with top-ranked international players, reflects the city's growing standing on the sport's global calendar.
Organisers say the combination of elite-level competition and a landmark show court is designed to make this year's edition one of the standout entries on Dubai's year-end sporting calendar.
