The schedule: Utrecht from 7 to 13 September, Amsterdam from 21 to 27 September, then Rotterdam from 27 September to 3 October. These three events put padel in the Netherlands at the centre of the international calendar for almost a month.
Utrecht opens the run with a FIP Silver
The first stop runs from 7 to 13 September in Utrecht. The FIP Silver Padel Copa Utrecht will feature women’s and men’s draws, with qualifying starting on 9 September and the finals scheduled for Sunday 13 September.
The centre court will be installed at Zomerstadion Utrecht on Jaarbeursplein, a few minutes from the central station. Matches are also scheduled on the courts at Peakz Padel Zeehaenkade. The KNLTB lists €9,000 in prize money for the women and the same amount for the men. For Dutch players, the week offers a chance to test themselves in an international draw without leaving the country.
Amsterdam takes over before Rotterdam
The Dutch calendar resumes from 21 to 27 September with the FIP Silver Amsterdam. The tournament will be played at XNRGY Club in Amsterdam-Duivendrecht. The FIP lists a 32-pair main draw and total prize money of €18,000.
This event is new to the 2026 calendar. It extends the CUPRA FIP Tour’s presence in a country where 876,000 people played padel in 2025, according to KNLTB and EY figures published in 2026. Jacco Eltingh, KNLTB Director of Sport, summed up that growth in July:
“The development of padel in the Netherlands is impressive, both at participation level and in elite sport.”
Rotterdam closes the month with Premier Padel P2
On 27 September, the level changes. Rotterdam Ahoy will host the Rotterdam P2 through 3 October. The event featuring the circuit’s leading pairs will therefore begin on the same day as the FIP Silver Amsterdam finals.
Rotterdam already has a strong base: the local organisers counted 39,758 visitors across the 2025 edition at Ahoy. To understand what the P2 category means, our guide to P1 and P2 categories explains the differences in points, prize money and format.
The official 2026 Premier Padel calendar, which includes Rotterdam, was also presented on the circuit’s official Instagram account:
Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam therefore give the Netherlands three weeks of international exposure across two levels of competition. This concentration comes less than a year before the 2027 FIP Euro Padel Cup awarded to the Netherlands, another marker of the country’s growing role in the European calendar.
