NATIONAL PADEL LEAGUE CONCLUDES RECORD-BREAKING INAUGURAL SEASON WITH USA TEAM LEAGUE NATIONAL FINALS IN NORTH MIAMI

NORTH MIAMI, FL – March 17, 2026 — The National Padel League has concluded the inaugural season of the USA Team League, establishing the largest structured amateur team padel competition in United States history.

The league’s first season brought together 1,956 players across 180 teams representing 55 clubs in 37 cities nationwide, organized into six competitive regions: Florida, Southeast, Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Texas, and Southwest.

Backed by the United States Padel Association, the USA Team League introduced a three-stage competitive pathway that connects local play to national competition. Teams advanced through City Stage qualifiers, Regional Championships, and ultimately the National Finals – creating a merit-based structure that moved beyond standalone tournaments.

The season concluded March 13–15 at Reserve SoLé Mia in North Miami, where regional champions competed for national titles across eight divisions.

Building National Infrastructure

“This season was about building legitimate infrastructure for competitive padel in the United States,” said Luis Fernando Ramirez Aristeguieta, CEO of the National Padel League. “We connected local clubs to a national stage and created a validated pathway where players can represent their cities and compete for a championship. The participation we achieved in Season 1 establishes the foundation for what comes next.”

The league’s commercial partnerships enhanced the player experience. National champions received Delta travel vouchers through the Delta Golden Ticket program, and all finalists received three-day passes to RacquetX, the league’s official experiential partner.

All matches were integrated with World Padel Rating, ensuring every result contributed to players’ competitive records within the global padel ecosystem.
