The International Padel Federation (FIP) has announced that the 2027 Euro Padel Cup will be hosted by the Netherlands, with Great Britain’s national teams set to begin their qualification journey in March. This landmark event marks the 15th edition of the competition and represents the first time a single nation will host all stages of the championship across multiple cities.
Tournament Structure and GB Campaign
Great Britain’s men’s and women’s squads are scheduled to enter the tournament during Phase 2. The men will compete in Dronten, while the women will play in Zwolle, with both events running from 11-13 March 2027. These venues will also host Phase 1 for Europe’s smaller nations from 7-10 March. The ultimate goal for all competing nations is to secure a spot in the Final 8, which will take place from 7-11 July 2027.
The tournament will utilize several high-profile Dutch venues for the final stages:
- AFAS Live (Amsterdam): One of the city’s premier venues will host the concluding matches.
- Sportcampus Zuiderpark (The Hague): This facility will serve as a key location for the final phase of the competition.
- Musis Theater (Arnhem): This landmark location will welcome the top male and female players in Europe.
The four men’s and four women’s teams that successfully navigate the qualification phases will join the nations already pre-qualified based on their FIP rankings. The pre-qualified teams are as follows:
- Men’s Pre-qualified Teams: Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands.
- Women’s Pre-qualified Teams: Spain, France, Italy, and Belgium.
Great Britain enters the 2027 campaign with recent experience in the format. During the 2025 FIP Euro Padel Cup, both the British men’s and women’s teams successfully advanced through Phase 2—the men with ease and the women following a decisive victory against Sweden—though both squads were eliminated during the group stage of the Final 8 in La Línea de la Concepción.
KNLTB general director Edu Jansing expressed pride in hosting the event, noting that the tournament aims to bring elite talent to the Netherlands while increasing public interest in the sport. Jaume Campistol, FIP Championships representative, praised the Dutch bid for its infrastructure and ambition, highlighting the event as a historic milestone for the International Padel Federation.
