According to information compiled by Few.ae editor, the Dubai Premier Padel P1 returns on 9–16 November 2025, taking over the Hamdan Sports Complex for a full week of elite men’s and women’s competition. Visit Dubai lists an AED 1.8 million prize pool and confirms the venue shift to the multi-purpose indoor arena, promising a bigger stage and improved spectator flow compared with past editions.
Dates, categories and what’s at stake
The official calendar shows qualifying rounds on 9–10 November, with the main draw running 11–16 November. Both men’s and women’s categories are in play, with FIP detailing draw sizes of 48 for men and 28 for women—an expanded bracket that should keep the order of play dense through the quarter-finals and beyond. For fans planning their week, that means meaningful matches from Tuesday night onward, and a lively qualifying atmosphere on the opening weekend.
Inside the Hamdan Sports Complex
Hamdan Sports Complex is one of Dubai’s most advanced indoor sports venues, originally purpose-built for world-class aquatic events. The complex can accommodate up to 15,000 spectators in its competition arena configuration and houses three Olympic-standard pools, media facilities and medical rooms. For padel, the arena is re-staged around a show court, with the event configured for approximately 7,000 seats—striking a balance between proximity to play and big-event spectacle.
Seating, sightlines and on-site services
Spectator comfort is a point of pride at Hamdan: steep rake seating for clear sightlines, robust in-house connectivity (4G and GSM capacity to serve more than 20,000 guests), and comprehensive back-of-house services including medical and doping control rooms. On the ground, the venue offers parking for roughly 1,600 vehicles—handy for evening sessions when ride-hailing demand spikes across the city.
Getting in and getting around
Most fans will arrive by car or taxi; the complex is designed around large event flows with wide forecourts and ample parking. If you’re mixing modes, plan your drop-off and pick-up at the main entrance zones and allow time to clear security before the first serve. Once inside, concourses are broad and well-signed, and staff are used to guiding big-ticket events from basketball to world swimming championships—so queues move quickly when doors open.
Weather outlook for the tournament week
Expect warm, hazy sunshine across 9–16 November, with daytime highs around 29–32°C and evenings easing into the low-20s. The show court is indoors, but if you’re walking from parking or waiting for rides after the late session, breathable layers will keep you comfortable. The forecast aligns well with prime evening starts and should not affect the order of play.
Ticketing, access and fan policies
Tickets start from AED 48 on the official listings, with complimentary tickets available for spectators during qualifying on 9–10 November (advance RSVP required). Platinumlist notes general access from age five and VIP from age 21; grandstand categories are unreserved seating, so arrive early if you want center-court views without an upgrade. For marquee night sessions later in the week, demand traditionally rises as the bracket narrows.
Who’s staging the event and where to watch
The 2025 edition is organised by Gallop.Global in collaboration with Dubai Sports Council, the Department of Economy and Tourism and the UAE Padel Association, and is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. For fans following from home or catching replays, Red Bull TV carries the quarter-finals through finals, with earlier rounds typically available via the tour’s digital channels.
