Padel Lands in Laredo: 2 New Clubs, 14 Courts Coming

Padel is officially coming to the border. For the first time, Laredo — the largest city on the Texas–Mexico border — is getting dedicated padel courts, and not just one club. Two facilities are opening in 2026, adding a combined 14 courts to a city that, until now, had nowhere to play the sport at all.

That's a fast start for a market of roughly 260,000 people. While metros like Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio have spent a couple of years building out courts, Laredo is leapfrogging straight to a competitive two-club scene. Here's what's opening.

Two New Padel Clubs Land in Laredo

Both of Laredo's new clubs are still under construction, but the plans are concrete: professional outdoor courts, league play, and the social, community-driven format that has fueled padel's growth across Texas. One sits in the city's stadium district; the other leans into a neighborhood, community-first identity. Together they take Laredo from zero courts to 14.

Why Laredo Now? Border Culture & South Texas Demand

Padel's U.S. boom has been driven by cultural proximity to Latin America and Spain, where the sport is already mainstream — and few American cities are more connected to that world than Laredo. As a binational border city with deep ties to Monterrey and northern Mexico, where padel has exploded over the past decade, Laredo has a built-in audience that already knows the game. Many residents have family and friends across the border who play regularly.

The economics help, too. Padel courts are cheaper to build than indoor tennis or large pickleball complexes, fill quickly with doubles-only play, and thrive in social, family-oriented communities. Laredo checks every box.

The Texas Padel Map: Laredo Fills a Gap

Texas has quietly become one of the country's strongest padel states, but the courts have clustered in the big metros. We cover the scenes in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and El Paso — but South Texas below San Antonio has been a blank spot on the map. Laredo's 14 courts close that gap and give players along the I-35 border corridor a reason to stay home instead of driving 150 miles north to play.

How to Get Updates

Both clubs are building interest ahead of their openings, so the fastest way to lock in opening-week play is to follow each one and watch for its booking launch. You can track both facilities — addresses, court counts, and availability once they go live — on their Padel Browser pages: Deuces Padel Club and Laredo Padel Club. The moment courts come online, you'll be able to check availability and book straight from there.
