Layout for SPT Future 2026
SPT Future is an elite youth tour where players get the opportunity to compete against each other on a national level. Before the 2026 season, among other things, input was collected from players and parents. The number of sub-competitions will be reduced from 7 to 6 sub-competitions in order to make room for international youth competitions in Sweden. As of 2026, the previous final will be transformed into a final part-competition within the tour.
Tentative dates:
31/1-1/2
11-12/4
4-5/7
26-27/7
24-25/10
5-6/12
Youth SM
Historically, the Youth Championship has been played in the autumn, for the 2026 season the Youth Championship will be moved to the spring. Preliminary date 24-26 April.
International competitions
Sweden has applied to organize two FIP Promises in 2026, these competitions are part of the international tour, a good chance for our elite youth to compete internationally on home soil.
Tentative dates:
18-24/5
7-13/9
Entry to competition
In order for more people to dare to start competing, the Swedish Padel Federation works to create a clear and welcoming competition structure. The former B-class is now changing its name to Step In – a regional competition class aimed at players who are new to competition.
Step In should be easy to participate in and therefore the class is designed as:
- Self-defense competition
- Time limitation with clear start and end time.
- Game forms without elimination
The purpose of the Step In class is to offer a competition alternative for players who are/feel new to competition.
A-class becomes Level Up
During the year, the Swedish Padel Federation is doing a review of the former A class, which is now changing its name to ”Level Up”. The name change marks the start of a clearer and more development-focused competition format for players who want to take the next step in their competition journey.
In connection with the change, we are reviewing how associations apply to arrange Level Up classes in the regions. By strengthening and modernizing Level Up, we want to raise the quality of competition and give more young players access to developing match environments regionally. This is an important step in the work for a sustainable and inspiring competition environment for children and young people throughout the country.
