Among the French padel influencers to follow in 2026, Jules Marie and Julien Seurin focus mainly on life around the professional circuit, Léo – MS Padel and Le Chiquiteur lean more toward instruction, while Tom Gergaud and Holà Los Padelistos show the amateur game. Albano Padel and Léo Poulain complete the selection with tournament and documentary formats.
Eight profiles, eight ways to film padel
Jules Marie has brought to padel the format that followed his tennis career: training sessions, tournaments, travel and behind-the-scenes footage. In a 2026 review, he reported 285,000 combined followers across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, along with more than 100 million Instagram views. His videos follow both his sporting progress and the development of the project.
Albano Padel has built his content around the amateur side of the sport. Tournaments, on-court microphones and videos made alongside players form the core of his work. In 2026, his P250 Tour de France and a video reported at more than 1.5 million views were among his most visible formats.
Léo – MS Padel combines documentaries, instruction and training. His channel covers tactical, technical and mental advice, event backstages and his own tournaments. He also runs padel camps in France and Spain, which gives a strong educational dimension to his content.
Julien Seurin films a different reality: that of a professional player producing content during his season. His official website lists more than 450 videos about matches, training and travel. Actu Padel also detailed in August 2026 the role of YouTube in his financial model alongside sponsors.
Holà Los Padelistos, created by Rémy Colazzina, speaks largely to amateur players. The project reports a community of more than 55,000 people and over 30 million cumulative views across several platforms. Its Padel Fight Club format takes the idea further by featuring matches against players of different levels across France.
Tom Gergaud also claims the amateur side of the sport. He says he wants to show tournament atmospheres, clubs, players and performances while pursuing a sporting target around the French Top 1000. Tom documents a progression that club players can compare with their own experience.
Le Chiquiteur, also known as Clément Filho, first built his presence through short humorous padel videos on Instagram and TikTok before expanding to YouTube. He has also worked with the FFT and 4PADEL on formats combining instruction, play and humour.
Léo Poulain changed the direction of his project in 2026. After documenting his push toward the French Top 100, he announced a programme of six countries and six documentaries about the development of padel around the world. His first film in Bali has already been covered by Actu Padel.
French padel influencers are becoming more specialised
The eight profiles now occupy distinct formats within French padel content. A professional player, a coach, an amateur competitor and a comedy video creator do not speak to the same audience, even when they film the same sport. Social audiences also move quickly, which makes a simple follower ranking less useful than looking at format and community.
Jules Marie also summed up the economic side in a LinkedIn review published in 2026, after his move into padel:
“All the sponsors who were with me on the ATP Tour agreed to follow me into the padel project.”
For Julien Seurin and Jules Marie, video is directly tied to the sporting project alongside sponsors. Other creators use their content to sell camps, develop a brand or produce formats with clubs and federations. This selection is not an influence ranking: it brings together eight editorial identities that are already easy to identify in French padel.
