Hexagon World Series, the first professional team padel circuit officially sanctioned by the FIP, has revealed its first full international season. The 2027 calendar covers four events on three continents and was launched at the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi. The circuit grew out of the Hexagon Cup, which has held three editions in Madrid since 2024 and drew more than 37,000 spectators in 2026
The season opens with the Generali Hexagon Cup Madrid at the Caja Mágica on January 21-24, followed by an event in North America in March and one in Scandinavia in June, with host cities for both still to be announced. The finale takes place in Abu Dhabi on October 21-24, where the first overall champion of the Series will be crowned
Eight teams will compete, seven of them already confirmed. They include AD/vantage Padel Team, champions in 2024 and 2026 and backed by Andy Murray and Anthony Joshua, KRÜ Padel by Taktika, 2025 champions led by Sergio “Kun” Agüero, ElevenEleven Team USA, backed by Eva Longoria, Rafa Nadal Academy Team, Team Bella Puerto Rico, X Padel, backed by Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly and entrepreneur Loïc Féry, and Dalma Team, a new franchise representing Abu Dhabi. The eighth team and the player line-ups will be revealed later
Each team fields one men's pair and one women's pair, and both count equally. Matches are played as best-of-five super tie-breaks instead of traditional sets, with the first four to 10 points and a deciding fifth to 6, and a Star Point settling a 10-10 tie. The eight teams are split into two groups of four at each event, followed by a final round, and a season-long ranking awards 25 points to the winner of an event, 18 to the runner-up and 15 to third place. Hexagon will keep equal prize money for men and women, though no amounts have been disclosed
FIP President Luigi Carraro called the international calendar an important step in padel's global development, saying the format is designed to bring in new audiences
