Can Great Britain avenge the inaugural Anglo American Padel Cup defeat by Team USA, in Padel’s version of the Ryder-Cup? To find our fans will have to wait until 4-6 February 2027 for the reigniting of rivalries, which will take place on US soil in Palm Beach County, South Florida.
The aptly named “Replay Club” will host the tournament’s second edition after a thrilling London debut in October 2025, when Team USA edged out GB in a down-to-the-wire finish.
If you’re a padel fan, there’s a lot to be excited about. Organisers are expanding the Cup significantly: the Open, 40s, 50s and 60s categories will each add an extra pair per nation, pushing the total field to more than 100 players. That means deeper draws, more matches (players can expect to play four times over the weekend) and stronger national teams. On top of that, a new University category will spotlight up-and-coming players and create a fresh pathway for talent to enter the international scene.
The Replay Club is a modern state-of-the-art Padel facility with 10 courts and upscale amenities, thus offering an ideal setting. Its indoor courts and spectator-friendly design promise a festival-like atmosphere where high-level competition meets social energy. Replay’s CEO, Alexander Ende, called hosting the Cup an honour, emphasising the club’s commitment to delivering a memorable experience for players and fans alike.
Founders Bill Ullman, Ben Nichols and Joelle Quinn framed the expansion as more than just bigger numbers. After London 2025’s dramatic final day (which captured wide attention), they see the Cup as a celebration of padel and the long-standing sporting rivalry between the US and Great Britain — now with greater inclusivity and development focus thanks to the university category.
Playtomic and Babolat return as lead sponsors, helping to underpin the event’s growth as it establishes itself as a marquee fixture on the padel calendar. Organizers promise more announcements on team selection, match formats, additional partners and ticketing in the months ahead.
For now, mark your calendars: early February 2027 in South Florida looks set to deliver intense matches, rising stars, and plenty of the passionate atmosphere that’s fast making padel one of the sport’s most exciting growth stories.
