A fixture on the European padel calendar
Brussels enters the home stretch of the Lotto Brussels Premier Padel by CBC with its frame now firmly in place. According to the tournament’s official website, the competition week will run from April 19 to 26, 2026 at the Tour & Taxis Maritime Station. The official FIP calendar includes the Brussels P2 from April 20 to 26. In practice, the Brussels event kicks off on April 19 with the qualifying rounds, before the main draw on April 21.
Presented as the fifth edition of the event, the tournament has earned a real place in the Brussels springtime, both for its sporting weight and for its setting. The Gare Maritime offers a rare indoor setting on tour, with a staging designed as much for performance as for the spectator experience. For Brussels, the stakes are clear: confirm that the tournament is a major player on the Premier Padel landscape, while retaining a strong local identity.
A week of crescendo, from qualifications to finals
The 2026 schedule gives a clear indication of the promotion’s increasing tension. Sunday April 19 and Monday April 20 will be devoted to qualifying, before a first round on Tuesday April 21 and Wednesday April 22, right in the middle of Belgian Days. Thursday April 23 is reserved for the round of 16, followed by the quarterfinals on Friday April 24, the semifinals on Saturday April 25 and the finals on Sunday April 26. On both editorial and sporting levels, everything is designed to build up the pressure as the week progresses.
This home stretch is also reflected in ticket sales. The organizers are already reporting record sales a month ahead of the event, with several sessions close to maximum capacity and two slots already sold out: Wednesday evening and Friday evening. The announcement of the pairing of Miguel Lamperti and Isaac Huysveld has also boosted the appeal of the Tuesday evening slot, which has become one of the most eagerly awaited even before the tournament gets underway.
Belgian Days, the real local hot streak on April 21 and 22
The Belgian heart of this 2026 edition will be played out on Tuesday April 21 and Wednesday April 22. The official schedule positions these two days as the first round, in conjunction with Belgian Days. This choice is by no means anecdotal: it’s at this time that the tournament showcases its national players most head-on, in an atmosphere that is generally denser and more partisan.
The organization also specifies that a total of five Belgian wildcards will be distributed, with two qualifying spots and three in the main draw. The first major announcement has already been made: Isaac Huysveld, one of the rising stars of Belgian padel, has received a wildcard and will play alongside Miguel Lamperti. This mechanism gives the Belgian Days a new dimension: they don’t just serve to fill the stands, they provide a concrete sporting link between the Belgian scene and the very highest international level.
A tournament designed to be experienced on site
Brussels Premier Padel 2026 isn’t just a succession of matches. The official website and Tour & Taxis insist on a global experience: CBC Central Court for paying sessions, access to Lotto Court and Nextensa Court, Padel Village, bars, food concepts, specialized shopping and DJ sets after the matches. Tour & Taxis is also announcing more than 15 boutiques in the village, enough to make the visit a full day out for the general public and licensees alike.
From a practical point of view, April 21 and 22 also offer a number of attractive features. The ticketing offer includes a free 1+1 on Tuesday and Wednesday, with combined tickets on these days and matches announced from 10am. In sporting terms, these Belgian Days should set the tempo for the round of 16 on Thursday, followed by the final weekend of quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. In Brussels, the pressure is really on: the tournament is approaching, the stage is set, and the Belgian Days are already shaping up to be the moment when local fervor can turn the atmosphere of Brussels Premier Padel around.
