The Comunidad de Madrid Premier Padel P1 by Oysho returns to the Movistar Arena from 1 to 6 September 2026 for its fifth consecutive year, bringing the top names on the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour to the Spanish capital. This edition carries extra emotional weight: it's billed as the last chance to see Alejandra Salazar compete on home ground before her retirement.
What it is
The main draw runs at the Movistar Arena from Tuesday 1 to Sunday 6 September, with home favourites including Ale Galán, Coki Nieto, Claudia Fernández, Martita Ortega and Ale Salazar among the field fighting for ranking points as the season heads into its business end. A qualifying round takes place beforehand, from 29 to 31 August at Pro Pádel Coslada, with free entry for spectators. New for this edition: afternoon-only tickets are available from the start of the main draw (Tuesday) through Thursday, aimed at fans who can't commit to a full day at the arena.
Why it's worth attending
Madrid has built a reputation as one of the strongest stops on the Premier Padel calendar, and previous editions have drawn sell-out crowds on the weekend sessions. The presence of Spain's own leading players — several currently fighting near the top of the world rankings — gives the home crowd a genuine stake in the outcome, and Salazar's expected farewell adds a layer most tournaments don't have. The one thing worth knowing before booking: the best-value seats went early through the priority waitlist (over 3,500 people registered), so the clearest sightlines may already be gone by general sale, though plenty of tickets remain across the week.
