The State of Padel in the U.S. Report highlights 51% growth year on year

New York, NY – September 4, 2025: Today, Misitrano Consulting released the inaugural The State of Padel in the U.S. Report 2025, the first data-led national study to map the growth of padel across all 50 U.S. states, and the most comprehensive to date. The findings confirm that padel is moving well beyond early adopters and entering a new phase of scale, infrastructure, and investment interest.

As of Q2 of 2025, 688 courts are operating across 31 states, with the number of clubs now growing by 51.5 % year-over-year. The U.S. player base has surpassed 112,000, with hotspots in California, Florida, and Texas leading the charge, and new growth corridors emerging across the Northeast and Midwest.

Built on proprietary research, verified projections, scraping, and interviews with clubs and operators, the report includes detailed breakdowns of infrastructure, pricing, booking technologies, tournament structure, and state-by-state facility development. It also outlines strategic lessons from Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, regions that have led the global padel boom over the last decade.

Patricio Misitrano, founder of Misitrano Consulting, said, "This report confirms what many in the industry have felt anecdotally: padel is scaling quickly in the U.S., but the infrastructure is still catching up. We created this to give club owners, investors, and players a real, verified picture of what’s happening across the country — and where the sport is headed next."

National Infrastructure Snapshot: Padel is now present in 31 U.S. states, with 688 total courts across 180 active facilities. The average number of Americans per court remains high at 504,360, indicating significant room for expansion.

Indoor Trend Accelerates: 39.1% of all U.S. courts are now indoor, a rising figure as developers respond to all-weather demand and real estate constraints in non-Sun Belt regions.

Padel + Pickleball Convergence: 36.7% of padel facilities now offer pickleball, suggesting a shift toward hybrid multi-sport venues and more integrated racquet club experiences.

Pricing Insights: The national average hourly rate for court rental is now $100 for indoor peak time and $80 for outdoor peak time, with the highest rates found in (New York City, NY) and the lowest in (McCallen, Texas).

Tech Race: Platforms like Playbypoint, Playtomic, and CourtReserve are leading the court booking market, with clear regional differences in adoption.

Competition Structure Matures: Tournaments such as the Pro Padel League (PPL) and Reserve Cup and systems like the USPA rankings, the U.S. is forming a national padel calendar and player ecosystem.

With U.S. padel projected to become a significant market within five years, the report highlights major opportunities in real estate-led club development, indoor venue growth, tech-enabled operations, and national coaching and staffing models. It also identifies key risks, including operator inexperience, overbuilding in hot zones, and coaching supply gaps.

The State of Padel in the U.S. Report 2025 outlines not just where the sport is now, but what needs to happen next for sustainable growth, including zoning reforms and technology integration, investment in grassroots programming and professional competition expansion. Padel in the U.S. is no longer an emerging niche, it's a commercial and cultural movement that is beginning to scale.
