August 10, 2026
Record-breaking prize money headlines Padel Haus’s third year hosting the tournament, as the event joins National Padel Month
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — USA Padel announced the 2026 US Open Padel Championships presented by Fresca Hard will take place Oct. 2-4 at Padel Haus Greenpoint, the third consecutive year Padel Haus has hosted and operated the US Open. The 2026 edition carries a $40,000 Division 1 prize pool, the largest in the tournament’s history, with Fresca Hard joining as Official Naming Rights Partner. The event will be part of National Padel Month, the sport’s industry-wide October celebration.
Padel Haus has managed tournament operations for every US Open Padel Championships since 2024, growing the event across three years into the largest annual padel competition in the country. USA Padel officials will manage player entries, draws, and the tournament schedule, while Padel Haus runs on-site logistics, hospitality, and production.
The $40,000 purse is up from 2025 and will be split evenly between the men’s and women’s Division 1 fields. Babolat, one of the tournament’s Official Partners, will provide prizes across the remaining divisions.
“This tournament has grown every year, and the increased prize money will ensure that this will be the strongest tournament in American padel,” said Bill Ullman, president of USA Padel. “Running it during National Padel Month puts our best players in front of a wider audience at the exact moment we’re asking the country to pay attention to this sport.”
Beyond Division 1, the tournament will again offer broad participation opportunities, with men’s divisions D2 through D5 and women’s divisions D2 through D4. In addition to tournament play, on Saturday, October 3rd, at 6 pm, all players and members of USA Padel are invited to attend USA Padel’s first-ever live Town Hall Meeting and cocktail party celebration of padel in the USA.
“Hosting the US Open for a third straight year means we get to watch this event outgrow itself every single time,” said Santiago Gomez, founder & CEO of Padel Haus. “Greenpoint was built for moments like this, and we want every player who walks onto our courts in October to feel that.”
The 2026 US Open Padel Championships presented by Fresca Hard is supported by Fresca Hard as Official Naming Rights Partner, Babolat as Official Partner, DryWater as Official Hydration Partner, Ultra Pouches as Official Focus Partner, Play By Point as Official Technology Partner, and PlaySight as Official Streaming Partner. Nox returns and Psycho Bunny debuts as USA Padel Circuit sponsors.
“Padel is all about bringing people together through friendly competition, and the moments after a match are just as memorable as the game itself”, said Emily Lane, Fresca Hard Brand Director of Red Tree Beverages. “That’s exactly where Fresca Hard fits in, and we’re excited to partner with USA Padel to help celebrate players and fans throughout the 2026 US Open Padel Championships.”
