Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – June 17, 2025 – Today, RacquetX, the world’s leading racquet sports festival, and Playtomic, the world’s largest community of racquet sport players and clubs, announced a new partnership designating Playtomic as the presenting title sponsor for the 2026 RacquetX event in Fort Lauderdale from March 13-15. This exclusive partnership underscores both organizations’ shared commitment to advancing the technology landscape and growing the racquet sports community in the U.S.
Entering its third year, RacquetX has rapidly become the largest racquet sports event in the world, drawing players, industry leaders and fans from across the globe. Through this collaboration, Playtomic will not only showcase its technology, but also demonstrate The Perfect Match, its proprietary club methodology grounded in global experience and best practices. More than a software provider, Playtomic partners with clubs to actively implement operational strategies that optimize growth, player engagement and performance on and off the court.
RacquetX Co-Founder, Robyn Duda said: “Playtomic is one of the most prolific brands in global sport, and so partnering with them aligns perfectly with our mission to foster innovation and growth within the racquet sports industry.”Their cutting-edge platform and investment in the U.S. market will help us continue to build momentum and engagement among players, clubs and partners at a time when racquet sports are thriving.”
In March 2025, Playtomic announced a $70 million (€65 million) funding round, including €55 million in equity and €10 million in debt financing from Banco Santander. This capital infusion will accelerate Playtomic’s expansion in the rapidly growing U.S. padel market, where it already supports more than 80 clubs on its platform and anticipates the market to reach 3,000 courts by 2026.
The funds will be directed toward product and technology development, enhancing Playtomic Manager, which is its club management software, as well as improving the player experience within the app, point-of-sale systems, tournament infrastructure, academies and multi-venue client features. Playtomic is currently the world’s largest racquet sports community platform, boasting 6,000 clubs across 63 countries and 1.5 million monthly active players.
Playtomic Co-Founder, Pablo Carro said: “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with RacquetX and support the growth of padel in the U.S. The energy and passion surrounding RacquetX perfectly reflect the rapid expansion and enthusiasm for padel, and racquet sports collectively, across North America. Together, we look forward to driving innovation and delivering an unforgettable experience for the entire racquet sports community.”
