Following the tremendous growth of padel in the United States, the United States Padel Association (USPA) has unveiled its 2025 NOX USPA Circuit calendar, featuring unprecedented prize pools, expanded age group tournaments, and a record number of participating venues.
Enhanced Prize Pools Drive Professional Competition
In a significant boost to professional padel, all four USPA 2000 tournaments (formerly known as the majors) will now offer a minimum $20,000 prize pool for players. Additionally, the USPA 1000 tournaments have increased their prize pools to a minimum of $7,500, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to supporting professional players.
Expanded Age Group Circuit
The Age Group Circuit has undergone a substantial expansion for 2025, introducing a three-tier tournament structure:
- Age Group National Championships
- Seven Age Group Regional Championships
- New Age Group Local Championships
Advanced Rating and Ranking System
Starting February 8th, 2025, all tournaments will utilize the new USPA and World Padel Rating (WPR) Tournament Management System. The integration brings several enhancements:
- Tournament results will count toward both USPA Rankings and each player’s World Padel Rating.
- WPR Circuit events will award 750 USPA rankings points to winning pairs, and follow the same distribution formula as other USPA tournaments.
- Streamlined tournament management, results, ratings, and data in one location.
Record Venue Participation
The 2025 circuit has attracted unprecedented interest from clubs nationwide, with fifty venues selected to host USPA tournaments. This represents the largest and most diverse tournament calendar in USPA history, offering players more opportunities to compete nationwide.
