Insights on padel technology, equipment, court guides, and the growing padel industry.
Greater Houston has 21 open padel clubs and about 90 courts — more than any other metro in Texas, and more clubs inside city limits than any US city except Miami. Social District's nine courts are the only ones still in build-out. Here's the full count, what we could verify, and what we couldn't.
Ballers runs padel at two of its three social sports clubs: three indoor courts in Philadelphia and three outdoor courts on Boston's Pier 4, with four more planned inside a former Macy's in downtown Los Angeles. Here is the padel-specific version — courts, prices and season dates at each club, including why the Boston courts give way to an ice rink on 7 November and why the DTLA opening has slipped past two announced windows.
North Carolina added two padel venues in the first week of October: two courts at the NC State University Club in Raleigh and Lake Norman's first court in Mooresville. Both are members' racket clubs rather than commercial facilities, which is how most of the state's next courts are likely to arrive. North Carolina now sits at eight venues and 38 courts, 20 of them open.
Cincinnati Sports Club is adding two covered outdoor padel courts on Red Bank Road, with its own site putting the date at October 2026. That gives the city a second padel venue and the metro a third — but unlike Cincinnati Padel Club, these courts are members only.
Padel crossed one million US players in 2026, but neither SFIA nor USA Padel publishes a gender split. We mapped what is actually organised for women instead: the National Padel League's four new women's divisions, the handful of clubs that publish women-only sessions, and a pro calendar with three US stops.
The Brazos Valley's first bookable padel courts opened on July 24, 2026, when 4PADEL cut the ribbon on three indoor courts east of College Station. Here is what it costs, when it is open, and how the club fits into the most padel-dense state in the country.
PDL Sports & Social Club broke ground near UTSA Boulevard in December 2025 with ten padel courts, a shipping-container restaurant and a rooftop bar. The target was summer 2026 and that window has passed with no new date published. Here is what is planned, what it will cost and how it compares to the four padel clubs San Antonio already has.
Patrick Mouratoglou's Malden club published its full facility spec and a five-tier price list on October 6, 2026. Founding memberships are $129/month for the first 100 members. There is still no opening date, and no booking engine behind the site's "BOOK NOW" button.
Student padel clubs have landed at Northeastern, the University of Michigan and the University of Utah, taking our collegiate listings to 11 schools. None of the three owns a court — they book time at commercial clubs nearby, and Michigan runs an organised driver network to cover the 50 miles to Zmash Padel. Here is where each one plays, and why student clubs keep appearing in states with barely any courts.
Fourteen clubs in our directory still carry an opening date before the end of 2026, accounting for at least 63 padel courts. We break the list down by month, flag the one entry we could not verify, and name the seven clubs whose published dates have already passed.
Conquer Padel lists ten US cities, but only two have courts you can actually book. We checked every location against Conquer's own announcements: Tempe and Lehi are open, Jacksonville is the only signed lease in the pipeline, and six more are franchise territories with no address. Here is how to tell the difference.
Every report on Boca Raton's new $20 million paddle complex led with its 19 pickleball courts. Boca Paddle by CityPickle is also building six padel courts — and it will be the New York operator's first padel anywhere. Here is the verified court split, the published 2026 padel rates, and where it lands among Boca Raton's four open clubs.
