Premier Padel 2026 Mid-Season Rankings
The 2026 Premier Padel season has reached its midpoint — and the race for the Barcelona Finals is heating up. After 15 completed events including the Italy Major in Rome, the standings paint a clear picture: two dominant pairs in each draw, with a fierce battle for the remaining Finals spots behind them.
This page covers the current FIP world rankings, season results so far, and who is on track for the year-end Finals. For a full overview of how the circuit works, see our Premier Padel season guide and how padel rankings work.
Men’s FIP World Rankings — August 2026
| Rank | Player | Nationality | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arturo Coello | Spain | 21,123 |
| 1 | Agustín Tapia | Argentina | 21,123 |
| 3 | Alejandro Galán | Spain | 17,906 |
| 3 | Federico Chingotto | Argentina | 17,906 |
| 5 | Juan Lebrón | Spain | 8,310 |
| 6 | Leandro Augsburger | Argentina | 7,716 |
| 7 | Franco Stupaczuk | Argentina | 6,570 |
| 8 | Miguel Yanguas | Spain | 6,381 |
| 9 | Francisco Navarro | Spain | 5,971 |
| 10 | Jorge Nieto | Spain | 5,316 |
The headline: Coello and Tapia are on a tear. Eight titles from 15 events — including the Italy Major and a five-tournament winning streak from Rome through London — have given the world number 1 pair a 3,000+ point cushion over Galán and Chingotto. Behind the top two pairs, a significant points gap separates 4th-ranked Chingotto (17,906) from 5th-ranked Lebrón (8,310), making the battle for Finals spots 3–8 the story of the second half.
Women’s FIP World Rankings — August 2026
| Rank | Player | Nationality | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gemma Triay | Spain | 18,283 |
| 1 | Delfina Brea | Argentina | 18,283 |
| 3 | Beatriz González | Spain | 14,571 |
| 4 | Paula Josemaría | Spain | 14,086 |
| 5 | Ariana Sánchez | Spain | 12,826 |
| 6 | Claudia Fernández | Spain | 11,771 |
| 7 | Andrea Ustero | Spain | 9,283 |
| 8 | Sofía Araújo | Portugal | 6,876 |
| 9 | Martina Calvo | Spain | 6,503 |
| 10 | Tamara Icardo | Spain | 6,416 |
The headline: Triay and Brea lead the women’s rankings with five titles, including the Italy Major and the Málaga P1. But the González/Josemaría pairing has been the most consistent force on tour — six titles from 15 events, including a dominant run through Miami, Egypt, Brussels, Asunción, and Buenos Aires. Their head-to-head rivalry with Triay/Brea is the defining storyline of the women’s 2026 season. Notable: Portugal’s Sofía Araújo is the only non-Spanish, non-Argentine player in the women’s top 10.

The Road to the Barcelona Finals
The 2026 Premier Padel Finals take place in Barcelona from December 7–13. The top 8 men’s pairs and top 8 women’s pairs in the season race qualify. Here is what remains:
Remaining 2026 Events
| Event | Tier | Dates | City |
|---|---|---|---|
| Madrid P1 | P1 | Aug 31 – Sep 6 | Madrid, Spain |
| Paris Major | Major | Sep 7–13 | Roland Garros, Paris |
| Rotterdam P2 | P2 | Sep 28 – Oct 4 | Rotterdam, Netherlands |
| Germany P2 | P2 | Oct 5–11 | Germany |
| Milano P1 | P1 | Oct 12–18 | Milan, Italy |
| Kuwait Major | Major | Oct 26–31 | Kuwait |
| Dubai P1 | P1 | Nov 9–15 | Dubai, UAE |
| Mexico Major | Major | Nov 23–29 | Mexico |
| Barcelona Finals | Finals | Dec 7–13 | Barcelona, Spain |
Men’s Finals Race Outlook
With three Majors and four P1/P2 events still to play, a maximum of 9,000 additional Major points and 4,000 P1/P2 points are available. Coello/Tapia and Galán/Chingotto are mathematically assured of Finals qualification. The race for spots 3–8 is wide open — Lebrón (8,310), Augsburger (7,716), Stupaczuk (6,570), and Yanguas (6,381) are separated by fewer than 2,000 points, meaning a single Major result could reshuffle the order dramatically.
Women’s Finals Race Outlook
Triay/Brea and González/Josemaría are safely qualified. Sánchez (12,826) and Fernández (11,771) look strong for spots 3–4, but Ustero (9,283) and Araújo (6,876) will need strong second-half results — particularly at the Paris and Kuwait Majors — to lock in their positions.
Key Storylines for the Second Half
- Can anyone stop Coello/Tapia? Their five-event winning streak (Rome → London) is the longest in Premier Padel history. Galán/Chingotto are the only pair who have beaten them in 2026 finals.
- González/Josemaría vs Brea/Triay: The women’s rivalry of the decade. Six titles vs five, with three Majors and the Finals still to come.
- Paris Major at Roland Garros: The Roland Garros Major (September 7–13) is the crown jewel of the European season and carries 2,000 ranking points.
- First Kuwait and Mexico Majors: Two new Major host countries in 2026 expand padel’s global footprint.
- Barcelona Finals debut: The season-ending Finals move to Barcelona for the first time, replacing Málaga as the host city.
