With so many of padel’s biggest pro tournaments being played in Europe, South America, and the Middle East, Americans rarely get the chance to watch the game being played at the highest level live. But thanks to the recently launched Pro Padel League (PPL), that’s all about to change in a big way.
In fact, as we previously reported, this Saturday, November 18th, the upstart North American league will be hosting its first-ever All-Star Game in San Diego. And the good news for those who aren’t able to make it to Taktika Padel in person to watch is that the All-Star Game will be broadcast live on the Tennis Channel’s free streaming network, T2, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. PST.
T2 is available to Amazon Freevee viewers and on sports-first live TV streaming platform Fubo in its base Pro channel plan. It can also be accessed for free on Samsung TV Plus and YouTube TV.
The festivities will kick off at 4:30 p.m. PST with an exhibition match featuring former World #1 and New York Atlantic, Juan Martin Diaz, and former World #2 and San Diego Stingray, Miguel Lamperti, versus Houston Volts Sports Director and former World #1 Juani Mieres, and Houston Volts player and rising padel star, Pablo Garcia.
Following that, the official All-Star Game will begin and feature three matches including men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles.
To determine the winning conference, the men’s and women’s doubles matches will be worth three points for each winner, and the mixed doubles match will be worth six points. The conference with the most points at the conclusion of all three matches will be crowned the first PPL All-Star Game Winners.
For those wanting to catch all the pro padel action in person, tickets can still be purchased here.
