How to Watch Padel in the UK (2026)

Premier Padel is the top global tour, and in the UK it is free to follow. Red Bull TV livestreams the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals of every stop on the 2026 Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour, for both the men's and women's draws, with no subscription or sign-up. For the earlier rounds that Red Bull TV does not carry, the official Premier Padel YouTube channel streams matches from the opening days of each tournament, which is the best way to follow the full draw and lesser-known players. Highlights and replays for every round usually appear within 24 hours. Padel (an enclosed-court racket sport) suits short-format viewing well, so the free streams are genuinely watchable rather than a poor substitute.

Not as of the 2026 season. Premier Padel has no dedicated UK broadcast deal with Sky Sports, TNT Sports or BBC iPlayer, so there is no traditional pay-TV or terrestrial home for the sport here. That sounds like bad news but is actually a positive for fans: because the rights sit with free streaming platforms, you can watch the biggest matches for nothing. If a major broadcaster does pick up padel in future, it would likely sit behind a subscription, so the current free arrangement is worth enjoying.

For British padel rather than the global tour, the LTA (the Lawn Tennis Association, which governs padel in Britain) has a multi-year partnership with Padel-TV as its official digital streaming partner. That covers the top-grade LTA Padel British Tour events and domestic international events, so you can watch the best home-grown players and rising juniors. LTA members can often get a discount on a Padel-TV subscription, and the LTA's own fan zone links out to the streams. This is the route to follow if you want to track British players and the domestic circuit.

Yes, and it is well worth it. The headline event is the Premier Padel London P1, a stop on the global tour held in London in 2026, where you can see the world's top players in the flesh; tickets are sold through the event's official channels. Beyond that, the LTA Padel British Tour runs domestic tournaments around the country that are usually free or cheap to attend, and many local clubs host leagues and exhibition days. Watching live is the best way to appreciate the speed and angles that screens flatten, and to pick up ideas for your own game.

Combine the two free streams. Use the Premier Padel YouTube channel for the opening rounds, midweek, then switch to Red Bull TV for the business end of each tournament from the quarter-finals onward. Subscribe to the YouTube channel to get notified when streams go live, and follow Premier Padel on social media for schedules and order of play. For the domestic game, keep an eye on the LTA and Padel-TV. That free combination covers the overwhelming majority of high-quality padel a UK fan could want to watch, with the live events as the occasional treat.
