Padel Across the Border: Tijuana, Mexicali & Juárez

Mexicali has 18 padel clubs and 115 courts in the Padel Browser directory. No US city has that many clubs: Miami, the busiest, has 17. Across the line from El Paso, Ciudad Juárez adds 9 more clubs, and Tijuana's 5 clubs hold 39 courts between them. If you live in San Diego, the Imperial Valley or El Paso, the nearest large padel scene may be in another country.

These clubs are newly mapped, not newly built. We added Mexico's clubs to the directory in late October 2026, but many of them have been running for years. Padel Norte in Mexicali says on its Playtomic page that it was founded in 2021, and Baja Padel Club in Tijuana calls itself the first padel club in Baja California.

Mexicali: 18 clubs and three very big ones

Mexicali sits directly across the border from Calexico, California. Its clubs are big. The four largest hold 55 courts between them.

The rest of the big four

Palestra by Adidas bills itself as the largest all-Adidas club in Mexico, with 15 padel courts (8 covered) plus a five-a-side football pitch, gym, spa and kids' playroom. Its Playtomic hours run from 05:00 to 02:00 every day, so late-night players are covered.

Padel Norte Cetys lists 13 outdoor courts on Playtomic, and its sister site Padel Norte Macristy has 11. The two share a phone number in our directory, so treat them as one operator with two venues.

For indoor play, Indor Club has 8 courts and describes itself as fully air-conditioned, with a restaurant and a big screen for sport. Zona Pádel, UNIO and Centinela Padel Club fill out the mid-size tier. Casino De Mexicali AC is a private members' club, so don't plan on booking there as a visitor.

Tijuana: 5 clubs, 39 courts

Tijuana has fewer clubs than Mexicali but builds them large, averaging close to 8 courts a club in our directory. It is also the closest to a US metro: San Diego, with 6 clubs of its own (see our San Diego padel guide).

Baja Padel Club and Gran Padel Río

Baja Padel Club in Río Tijuana describes itself as the first padel club in Baja California, with 10 outdoor courts and tournaments every week for all levels. The club runs a top-up offer: load MXN 1,000 onto your Playtomic account and get a 10% bonus.

Gran Padel Río has 8 outdoor courts in Zona Río, the most central of the Tijuana clubs, and rents equipment. Lago Padel Club adds 6 courts, and Club Campestre Tijuana is a members' country club.

Ensenada and Rosarito

Further down the coast, Ensenada has 6 clubs and 34 courts. Club de Pádel Las Palmas and Pacifico Padel Club each have 9 padel courts. Pacifico also lists a pickleball court and petanque, and both rent equipment. Closer to the border, Pacifico Padel Club Rosarito has 2 courts in Playas de Rosarito.

Ciudad Juárez and El Paso: one market, two countries

El Paso has 6 clubs and 28 courts. Ciudad Juárez, across the Rio Grande, has 9 clubs and 38 courts. Taken together, that is a 15-club metro split by a border, and the Mexican side is the larger half.

Other Juárez clubs

The Deuce Club Padel & Social has 6 courts, some indoor and some outdoor. Gallery Padel Club and Border Padel have 5 each, and National padel, Padel Pro Juárez and Mission Padel Club have 4.

On the US side, The Padel Company in Socorro is listed as opening soon with 10 courts. Our El Paso padel guide covers the Texas clubs, and Phantom Padel's Socorro plans cover what is coming.

Booking and getting there

Nearly every club in this post books through Playtomic, so a US player who already uses the app can book Mexicali or Tijuana courts the same way they book at home. Prices are set in pesos, and the credit packs above are the cheapest way to pay if you play the same club often.

For the crossing itself, check the current CBP border wait times before you leave, and read CBP's travel document rules for coming back into the US. Waits at San Ysidro, Calexico and the El Paso bridges change hour to hour, so build slack into any booking.

If you want to buy a racket in Mexico rather than carry one over, our Mexico padel gear guide lists the peso-priced stores. For the US side of the border, start with the California and Texas directories.
