FFT padel calendar 2027: P3000, FIP and interclub

Recorded on May 28, 2026

The FFT padel calendar for the 2027 season marks a structural turning point in French competition. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) is not only tightening the schedule but upgrading national events. P1500 tournaments move to P2000 level, while several former P2000 stages become P3000 events on the FFT Padel Tour. At the same time, the international programme on French soil grows denser—from FIP Silver to Premier Padel and youth FIP Promises.

P2000 become P3000: the core reform

The headline change: the FFT Padel Tour raises its top tier again. Stages that still run as P2000 this season will appear as P3000 in 2027. That means more FFT points, higher prize money, stronger pull for France’s best pairs and a sharper national hierarchy.

The move reflects sporting reality: P2000 events in 2026 already delivered top clashes among the strongest home duos. The circuit is too deep to keep standards from two or three seasons ago. P1500 events, meanwhile, shift to P2000—lifting the middle tier and creating a clearer ladder between P1000 and the French elite.

For athletes, season planning changes: players in the upper half of the national rankings will meet the same rivals more often in higher-value events. Organisers face greater demands, while sponsors and spectators gain more attractive fixtures.

French championships and youth development

The Championnats de France will be staged as P3000 in October 2027, alongside wheelchair padel championships. The +45 national title remains at P1500. For juniors, the FFT continues a stepped competition model with defined point values:

  • U12 Interligues: 23–25 August 2027 (P100)
  • U14: 25–27 August 2027 (P250)
  • U16 and U18: 27–29 August 2027 (P500 and P1000)

Youth pathways stay progressive—from entry level to the top junior class—supporting talent identification and long-term support. Clubs can align annual planning early, coordinating training camps and preparatory events.

France as an international tournament hub

The calendar lists several FIP Bronze and Silver events, including Bandol (June 2026), Marnes-la-Coquette (September 2026) and Champ Fleuri in La Réunion (October 2026); more dates are announced but not yet confirmed.

France also hosts repeat top-tier events with global prestige:

  • Paris Major Premier Padel 2026 and 2027
  • P2 Bordeaux 2026 and 2027
  • FIP Gold or Platinum, including Lyon (September 2026, others pending)
  • Youth FIP Promises, including Vichy (April) and two WME Paris in Île-de-France (July and October)

Combining national upgrades with international density makes France a focal point of the 2027 European padel season. Players can earn points at home without constant travel abroad.

Interclub, TNJ and special dates

To close 2026, October features senior championships (P3000) and wheelchair championships (P250). Key 2027 milestones include:

  • Interclubs Nationale 1 (P2000): January
  • Interclubs Nationale 2 (P1500): March
  • Interclubs inter-regional conference (P1500): May
  • Interclubs Régionale 1 (P800): April
  • Regional youth championships (May): U14 P100, U16 P250, U18 P500
  • Championnats de France +45 (P1500): June
  • Regional senior championships (P1000): June
  • Masters TNJ Vichy: July
  • Senior and wheelchair championships: September
  • Wheelchair padel P250: November 2026; 2027 in February, May, July, November
  • Deaf and hard-of-hearing P250: October 2026; 2027 in January, April, June, October

The FFT also keeps caps on simultaneous P1000 events: at most five men’s and two women’s P1000 tournaments per calendar window, limiting overlap and protecting event quality.

A pyramid, not a date overload

Beyond dates, the strategy is clear: make France’s top level denser, more readable and more competitive. Extra national points may help leading pairs rely less on international travel to protect their ranking. For clubs, players and fans, 2027 promises higher impact—from interclub play to the Paris Major.

Studying the calendar early helps plan travel, training and recovery. The 2027 season looks less like a loose list of dates and more like a coherent blueprint for a fast-growing padel nation.

Amateur clubs should watch interclub windows closely: Nationale 1 and 2 plus inter-regional rounds set clear team-competition milestones. Players combining FIP Silver or Premier Padel events nearby can bundle weekends efficiently. The calendar is therefore a planning tool for the entire French padel community, not only the professional tour.
