With padel starting to really take off here in the U.S., more and more Americans are not only looking for ways to get on court, but actually play in regulated competitions. So, it’s little wonder that the United States Padel Association (USPA) has really ramped up their 2024 tournament schedule with play in exciting new venues and clubs across the U.S.
A release from the USPA states, “Following a record-breaking year in 2023 with an unprecedented number of tournaments and a surge in USPA membership, we are gearing up for an even more spectacular 2024” — which will feature Majors and USPA 1000s in emerging padel hotbeds including:

The statement continues: “The Chosen Foods USPA Circuit has been instrumental in developing and popularizing padel in the United States. It is a vital platform, allowing clubs nationwide to host tournaments, engaging players in competitive matches, and encouraging travel to different venues.
This circuit is not just about competition; it’s about community, growth, and the love of the game. Clubs apply to host USPA tournaments, and the USPA Competition Committee awards sanctions based on rigorous selection criteria.
The 2024 circuit will offer tournaments across various levels – Junior, Senior, and Open, ensuring that players of all ages and skills have a platform to showcase their talent. After a successful debut in 2023, the Junior and Senior Tournaments returned with an increase in tournament numbers in 2024.
A vital aspect of the circuit is the opportunity for players to earn ranking points, contributing to their national ranking. This is more than just a number – it’s a pathway to becoming part of Team USA, representing our nation in prestigious events like the Pan American and World Championships.
The support of our sponsors, including Padel Lux, Padel Haus, and VanEck, is instrumental in this journey, enabling our players to compete at the highest levels with pride and excellence.”
The statement concludes: “The culmination of the Chosen Foods USPA Tournament Circuit is the highly anticipated Master Finals, a season-ending event that showcases the pinnacle of Padel competition. In this exclusive tournament, only the top 8 teams in each division earn the honor of competing, selected based on their performance and rankings accumulated throughout the year. This elite format ensures that the Master Finals are a battleground for the best of the best, where skill, strategy, and passion converge.”
While a location has yet to be chosen for the December 6th – 8th Open Master Finals, the USPA has announced that the Senior Master Finals are scheduled at The Sports Haus in Norwalk, CT, from December 13th to 15th, saying, “2024 marks a significant milestone with the debut of the Senior Master Finals. This event, catering to our seasoned players, demonstrates our commitment to celebrating the talent and dedication of players across all age groups.”
Players wishing to compete in any USPA event can register to play via the Padel Manager App.
