The Pro Padel League (PPL) continues to expand its presence and redefine the sports and entertainment landscape in the United States. From October 16–19, 2025, the league will host its highly anticipated Finals at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, a venue renowned for its history, grandeur, and cultural significance. This bold choice reflects the league’s ambition to blend world-class sport with iconic stages, creating an unforgettable experience for fans and players alike.
Situated in Midtown Manhattan, the Hammerstein Ballroom has stood as a symbol of New York’s vibrant cultural scene since its opening in 1906. Over the decades, it has hosted legendary concerts and performances by artists such as Queen, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, and Metallica, along with countless theater productions, award shows, and entertainment spectacles. Its stunning architecture and unique atmosphere make it the perfect backdrop for the energy and intensity of professional padel.
This marks the second PPL event in New York City, underscoring the league’s strategic commitment to one of the world’s most influential markets. Following the success of its first New York event, the Finals are expected to draw an even larger audience, reflecting both the sport’s rising popularity and the city’s growing enthusiasm for padel. By returning to New York, the PPL not only strengthens its foothold in the U.S. but also positions padel as a sport capable of captivating diverse and international audiences.
The decision to stage the Finals at the Hammerstein Ballroom highlights the PPL’s vision of presenting padel as more than a sport, it’s an immersive entertainment experience. By bringing the world’s best players to a venue steeped in music and cultural history, the league is creating a unique fusion of competition and spectacle that embodies the spirit of New York itself.
