Pro Padel League Lands Padeltek as Official Racket Partner

As padel looks to break through in the U.S., 2026 might be the year of the PPL.

The league is making big steps in the right direction to bring pro padel to center stage in the crowded U.S. sports market.

Announced today, Padeltek, is the official racket partner of the PPL and will supply top-level equipment and support as the league continues to grow across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

“We at Padeltek are very excited to help lead the introduction and growth of Padel in North America,” said Ron Saslow, CEO of Paddletek. “In addition to developing ultra-premium rackets, balls and accessories, we also want to invest in and help drive the sports’ growth. Partnering with the PPL gives us a great opportunity to make an even larger impact on the sport.  Together we will bring the existing global excitement of this amazing sport to North America.”

As the Official Racket Partner, Padeltek will design, create and produce a co-branded PPL racket available for purchase at each event this season and through select distribution channels. Additionally, Padeltek will support the PPL’s product initiatives and programs that benefit both pro and amateur players. One such program is PPL II, a new player development league to identify, support, and elevate the next generation of talent.

“As the PPL continues to grow, partnerships like this are a big part of what’s next for us,” said Mike Dorfman, CEO of the Pro Padel League. “Our goal is to help drive and grow the sport of padel across North America. Working with a brand like Padeltek, which is so focused on performance and innovation, helps us do exactly that.”

Like most league partnerships, the PPL and Padeltek will work together on marketing efforts, event activations, and broader initiatives. However, what makes this unique is their focus on increasing visibility for the sport and creating more opportunities for players at all levels.

While the pro game is important, the PPL understands it is key to create a community of players at all levels, especially as the sport aims to grow out of its infancy in the U.S. Without this, the sport’s target of growing as a top US racket sport will likely fall flat.

The 2026 PPL season will feature five events across North America, beginning on July 9-12 in New York City, followed by events in Los Angeles (Aug. 13-16), Playa del Carmen (Sept. 24-27), and Guadalajara (Nov. 19-22). The City’s Cup, the league’s championship event, will be held Dec. 3-6 in Miami.
