Recap of the day (Wednesday, February 11)
Riyadh clearly changed its face on Wednesday: in the women’s category, the “revolution” of new associations at the top got off to a flying start. Three new pairs in the top 4 won as soon as they entered the mix, with different scenarios but the same message: nobody wants to waste time looking for each other.
In the men’s draw, Martínez/Valenzuela continued their superb momentum, Coello/Tapia came through in two tiebreaks, and Alonso/Tello scored the big win of the day against González/Di Nenno. At this stage, the quarterfinals won’t be a formality: the slightest drop in intensity will be paid for in cash.
Not to be missed tomorrow (Thursday February 12): the quarterfinals
Start at 3pm (Riyadh) / 1pm (Belgium) then “not before 6pm” (Riyadh) / 4pm (Belgium) for the last two big match-ups on each court.

Riyadh, the first stop of 2026: what to know before hitting “Play”
The Riyadh Season P1 opens the Premier Padel 2026 season at the Padel Rush Arena. The week has a very particular “return” feel: the seeds have to get the engine going again, while pairs coming through qualifying and the lucky losers play with no fear. That’s often where, from the very first rounds, upsets… or scares slip in.
On the broadcast side, it’s simple on paper but depends a lot on your country: part of the tournament is available to stream for free, then coverage switches to different platforms and broadcasters from the quarterfinals onwards. The goal here: give you the right reflexes, the key times, and a few big match-ups to tick off.
Where to watch Riyadh P1 2026 live: the official options
Before the quarterfinals: YouTube, free-to-air (with replays)
To follow most matches during the week (and often multiple courts), the easiest door is the official Premier Padel YouTube channel. Sessions are streamed live there, and replays let you catch up if you miss a rotation or if a match is played at the same time as another big match-up.
Direct link (“Streams” tab): Premier Padel – Live & replays on YouTube.
From the quarterfinals: Red Bull TV… but not everywhere
From the quarterfinals onwards, Red Bull TV broadcasts the sessions (quarterfinals, semifinals, finals) in a large part of the territories. But watch out: Red Bull TV streaming isn’t available in several markets, including France and Belgium. In those countries, you’ll need to use the TV broadcasters/platforms with local rights.
Official “How to watch” page: Riyadh P1 2026 – Red Bull TV broadcast guide.
France: Canal+ for the final rounds
In France, coverage of the decisive rounds goes through the Canal+ ecosystem (depending on scheduling and channel), with access via TV and the platform. If you’re in France (or near the border with Canal+ access), this is the reflex to have from the quarterfinals on, and especially over the weekend.
Dedicated hub: Premier Padel on CANAL+.
Week schedule: key times (Riyadh) and France/Belgium time conversion
The times below correspond to the start of the sessions. Matches then follow one another according to the order of play. Note: Riyadh is UTC+3. In France and Belgium (CET, UTC+1), subtract 2 hours.

| Sat. 14/02 | Finals: 15:00 Riyadh / 13:00 France-Belgium (women’s final then men’s final, according to the official order of play). |
In practice: which platform to choose depending on your situation
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| From Monday to Wednesday | Easiest: YouTube (multi-court live + replays). Ideal for following rotations and early-round upsets. |
| From Thursday onwards | Red Bull TV streams quarterfinals/semifinals/finals in many countries, but not in France or Belgium: check your territory. |
| If you’re in France | Switch to Canal+ (TV/platform) for the final rounds, especially from the quarterfinals onwards. |

Which big match-ups to follow in Riyadh: duels worth watching
Without trying to play fortune-teller with the draw, some dynamics are already worth monitoring. Here are the big match-ups and profiles that could swing the tournament, especially with players still finding their feet at the start of the season.
- The “top seed” test: Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia get into the thick of it with the usual pressure… and opponents with nothing to lose. A match against a lucky-loser duo can become tricky if the tempo is slow to settle.
- The defensive block that’s become the benchmark: Federico Chingotto / Alejandro Galán. One to watch for their ability to turn around a “scrappy” set without panicking, typical of a return tournament.
- The Miguel Yanguas / Franco Stupaczuk duo: tactically interesting, especially in transition management and the ability to accelerate without exposing themselves on counters.
- Juan Lebrón / Leandro Augsburger: an explosive mix of experience and power. If it clicks, it can do serious damage, especially under pressure.
- The French players to keep an eye on on YouTube: Dylan Guichard / Bastien Blanqué have already made their mark this week, and Thomas Leygue is also in the tournament. The early rounds broadcast free-to-air are often the best window to follow these runs.
- The “outsiders” from qualifying and the wild cards: they play with freedom, and that’s exactly the profile that can steal a set (or more) before the favourites raise their level.
Key takeaway
- Up to the round of 16, the simplest option remains YouTube (live + replays).
- From the quarterfinals onwards, Red Bull TV takes over in many countries, but France and Belgium are excluded from live coverage on this platform.
- In France, Canal+ is the most reliable option for the final rounds.
- Sessions start at 12:00 (Riyadh) early in the week, then at 15:00 (Riyadh) from the quarterfinals onwards: in France/Belgium, subtract 2 hours.
