The array of events include: five Masters tournaments (for elite players), 13 Open events (also for elite players) and six Challenger tournaments (for lower-ranked elite players), all leading up to the Masters Final in Madrid. The circuit will visit six countries, including: Spain, Italy, Sweden, Argentina, Portugal and Mexico.
Also taking place in 2021 is the XV World Padel Championships which is being hosted in Doha, Qatar, from November 15 – 20, 2021. A total of 29 countries have already entered, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, who will both have teams in the event.

CUPRA FIP Tour
For the rising stars of the padel game there is the CUPRA FIP Tour: a series of events organised by the International Padel Federation.
In a similar arrangement to how the International Tennis Federation provides younger players with playing opportunities as they strive to make it onto the ATP and WTA Tours in tennis, the FIP Tour runs tournaments for professional and semi-professional padel players across the world.
The full schedule is available on the International Padel Federation website
LTA Padel Tour
Closer to home, 2021 will also see the return of the LTA Padel Tour. The tour gives the best British players an opportunity to gain valuable experience of competing at a national level.
Events are played at venues all over the country and are graded between one and three, depending on the weight of rating points on offer. In 2021 the LTA Padel Tour is set to run from May - July across Britain.
