The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour by Playtomic will take a historic step in its international expansion this weekend with the launch of its first edition in the United States. From March 13 to 15 in Miami, Padel X will host the opening event of this amateur circuit promoted by the Rafa Nadal Academy, which combines sport, competition and leisure and has already established itself as one of the most attractive amateur padel experiences for players.

Following the success of its first two editions in Spain and the recent launch of the circuit in Italy, the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour continues its international expansion and now arrives in the United States in partnership with Playtomic, the world’s leading app for racket sports players and clubs.

Exhibition featuring world padel stars

In addition to enjoying the competition, players registered for the Miami opening event and padel fans will be able to enjoy a unique spectacle featuring some of the biggest names in professional padel.

On Friday, March 13, at 6:00 PM local time, a special exhibition will take place during the first day of the event, featuring top-level players from the international circuit. Ramiro Moyano and “Pincho” Fernández will face Guga Vázquez, currently No. 6 in the USPA ranking, and Javier Barahona, currently No. 21 in the world ranking. Moyano, who previously reached the top ranks of the world padel circuit, will be one of the main attractions of an exhibition that will allow participants and fans to experience professional padel up close.

A key step in international expansion

The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour USA by Playtomic calendar will feature four tournaments across the United States. After the opening event in Miami, the circuit will travel to Austin (Padel 39) from April 24 to 26, then return to Florida for an event at Ultra Padel Miami from May 8 to 10 and will culminate with a major final tournament at Reserve New York, in the heart of Manhattan.
The arrival of the circuit in the United States represents a new milestone in the international expansion strategy of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour, at a time when padel is experiencing significant growth in North America.

For this expansion, the Rafa Nadal Academy is supported by the strategic partnership with Playtomic, which helps connect players and clubs around the world through its technology and contributes to the global growth of racket sports.

The circuit is also supported by Babolat, the tournament’s strategic partner and one of the leading international brands in padel. Participants will receive Babolat products in their welcome packs, while the winners will be awarded Babolat rackets.

A growing global circuit

The arrival in the United States further expands the international reach of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour, which in 2026 will continue to visit some of Spain’s main cities such as Santander, Madrid, Gijón, Jerez, Valladolid, Estepona, Seville and Valencia, before culminating with the Grand Final at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor.

At the same time, the Italian circuit will continue to grow with tournaments in Rome, Milan, Naples, Florence, Turin and Ancona, with its final stage also taking place in Mallorca.
