National figures: FIP World Padel Report 2025, October 2025.

Germany is still a young padel market by European standards, but it is growing fast. The International Padel Federation's World Padel Report 2025 counts 875 courts at 325 clubs. The national body, the Deutscher Padel Verband (DPV), is a padel-specific association and has been a member of the International Padel Federation since 2012. The DPV expected more than 3,000 padel tournaments across Germany in the 2025 season.

Competitive play is built around the Gerolsteiner German Padel Series. Players buy a licence through the DPV Portal: a free one-off taster licence, a €15 youth licence or a €69 full licence. The national ranking counts each player's best 8 tournaments from the last 52 weeks, plus league points. At the top level, Düsseldorf hosts a Premier Padel P2 in October 2026 (Premier Padel).

Most German courts are in commercial halls that you book in advance. A July 2026 report by t-online described courts that often cost several dozen euros per hour, and counted six facilities with 37 courts in Düsseldorf alone (t-online).

Our listings cover Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Leipzig. Many come from chains such as Padelon, PadelCity, 4PADEL and mitte, and most use Playtomic for booking.
