Dubai P1 Padel 2026: A Fan Brief in UK Time

October 20, 2026

The Dubai P1 is the last P1 on the 2026 Premier Padel calendar. It runs from Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 November at the Hamdan Sports Complex. After that, the FIP calendar has only the Mexico Major in Acapulco (23 to 29 November) and the Finals in Barcelona (10 to 13 December).

This brief is for UK fans. Every session in UK time, what the points mean, the ticket basics, and where to book a court if you're out there that week.

Padelism is not affiliated with Premier Padel or the FIP. This is a fan's brief, written by a padel player who makes clothes.

The week at a glance


Dates	Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 November 2026
Venue	Hamdan Sports Complex, Emirates Road, opposite Global Village, Dubai (indoor)
Level	Premier Padel P1 (one tier below a Major)
Prize money	EUR 479,068, per the FIP event page
Time difference	Dubai is 4 hours ahead of the UK
Tickets	Platinum List, linked from dubaipremierpadel.ae

The ticket page says the complex's Olympic-size pool is drained to make an indoor padel stadium, with a 7,000+ seat arena. So the pros play under a roof, whatever the weather outside.

UK clocks go back on 25 October. Dubai doesn't change its clocks. So for the whole event, take 4 hours off any Dubai time and you have UK time.

Every session in UK time

The ticket page on Platinum List sets out the week like this. The organiser says the final order of play will go on dubaipremierpadel.ae and its Instagram, so treat these as start times that can move.

Day	Round	Dubai time	UK time

The good news for the UK is the weekend. Saturday's semis land at lunchtime and mid-afternoon. Sunday's finals sit at 2pm and 4pm, an easy Sunday afternoon in the UK.

On weekdays the night sessions are the ones to catch. They start at 3pm UK time.

Red Bull's calendar says it streams the quarter-finals to the finals, with earlier rounds on Premier Padel's YouTube channel. For apps, replays and the rest of the season, our guide on how to watch Premier Padel in the UK has it covered.

How P1 points work

The LTA's 2026 guide splits the tour into four tiers: Majors, P1s, P2s and the season-ending Finals. A P1 sits one step below a Major. The same guide gives the ranking points for each round at a P1:

Result at a P1	Ranking points
Winners	1,000
Runners-up	600
Semi-finalists	360
Quarter-finalists	180
Third round	90
Second round	45
First round	22

For scale, the LTA says a Major winner gets 2,000 and the Finals winner 1,500. So a P1 title is worth half a Major, and a semi-final here (360) earns the same as a Major quarter-final.

The bit most fans miss is the defending. The LTA explains that rankings use a player's best 22 results over a rolling 52 weeks. Players have to match or beat what they did in the same weeks the year before, or those points drop off.

That matters in Dubai. Last November, Padel Addict reported that Agustin Tapia and Arturo Coello beat Ale Galan and Fede Chingotto 6-3, 6-4 in the men's final, their second Dubai title in a row. Claudia Fernandez and Bea Gonzalez beat Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 6-1, 7-5 in the women's. Ranking points belong to each player, so on the LTA's explanation all four of those champions come into this week with 1,000 points to defend. Going out in the semis would leave each of them 640 short of last year.

There's a second race on, too. Dubai is one of the last stops before the Finals field is set. Our Barcelona Finals planner explains how the FIP Race picks the 16 men and 16 women who make it.

Tickets: the short version

Where: Platinum List, linked from the organiser's site dubaipremierpadel.ae.
Price: at time of writing, tickets on Platinum List started from £9.56. VIP tickets include dedicated seating, food and drink in the hospitality areas and VIP parking.
Free qualifying: the ticket page's FAQ says qualifying entry is free on 9 and 10 November. Its own schedule puts qualifying on the 8th and 9th, so confirm the days with the organiser before you turn up.
Rules: the FAQ says tickets are non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable, though the same page also advertises swapping your ticket with another fan. Check the terms at checkout if your plans might change. General access is for ages 5 and over.
No filming: the ticket terms ban filming, recording, livestreaming or photographing matches, qualifying included. Watch it, don't post it.
Getting there: the complex is on Emirates Road, opposite Global Village, away from the centre. General admission parking is limited and first come, first served. The organiser suggests GPS if you drive, and taxis and ride-hailing apps work too.

The matches are indoors, but the weather still shapes your days around them. Dubai's normals from 1991 to 2020 put November at a 31°C average high and 20°C low, with barely any rain. Warm days, comfortable evenings. If you're also planning what to wear around the city, our padel holiday packing list has a Dubai section.

Where to book a court that week

You've flown out for the padel. You'll want to play some too. I haven't played in Dubai myself, so these come from What's On Dubai's venue guide from February 2026. Prices are what it listed then, in dirhams.

Ballers, Downtown, on Dubai Fountain Street. Six courts with the Burj Khalifa behind them, bookable on Playtomic from 7am to 11pm. Court bookings from Dhs262.50.
Padelx, Jumeirah Lake Towers. What's On calls it Dubai's first and only floating padel. Two courts, from Dhs200 an hour on Playtomic, with rackets to rent at the venue. Good if you've travelled without one.
Padel Pro, two sites. Ten outdoor courts at One Central and four indoor courts in Al Quoz. Court bookings from Dhs260.
Just Padel, several sites including Mina Rashid, Kite Beach and Dubai South at Brighton College. Court bookings from Dhs180, booked through justpadel.ae.

Two tips for that week. Play in the morning, as the main draw starts at midday local time and you'll want to be at the venue for the night sessions. And book early. A tour week with the world's best players in town is not a quiet week for courts.

Watching from home instead

Most of us will be on the sofa, not in the stands. The good part is the timing. A 3pm UK start for the weekday night sessions means an afternoon match, not a midnight alarm. Sunday's finals are a 2pm start, so a morning game with your four, then the finals on after.

That's the bit we make clothes for. Our heavyweight tees are 305 g/m² cotton with an oversized fit, £48 each, or any two £48 heavyweight tees for £90 at checkout through the 2 for £90 tees. If you're heading out to Dubai, take something from headwear for the morning game in 31°C. The organic dad hat is the easy one.

Our clothing is made to order, 7 to 10 working days in the UK. If you want it before you fly out for the 8th, order by late October.
