The NOX Cup is Bali’s largest tournament, attracting players from across the region.

Why it matters: NOX is the official racket partner of Bali Padel Academy, making this the flagship tournament for serious players in the region.
APPT Bali 2026 (Asia Pacific Padel Tour)
The Asia Pacific Padel Tour brings professional-level competition to Bali. This is the region’s first official professional tour.
Dates: May 8-10, 2026
Categories: Amateur and Elite divisions, with separate draws for men, women, and mixed doubles
What APPT means: If you’re serious about competitive padel, APPT events are the stepping stone to recognition beyond Bali. Players use these tournaments to build their ranking and network with competitors across Asia.
Season pass option: APPT offers season passes for players who want to compete across multiple events throughout the year.
Bali Padel Open
The Bali Padel Open is Bali’s most inclusive major tournament, with a format designed to showcase the sport’s social side.
Format: Round Robin with 4 groups per category. You’ll play multiple matches and the top 2 teams from each group advance to the Quarter Finals on the final day.
Categories: Bronze (beginner-friendly), Silver (intermediate), and Gold (advanced) for both men and women
Partner flexibility: You can register without a partner - the organisers will help match you with someone at your level. Though it’s better to come with a partner you’ve practised with.
Scoring: Double deuce rule (when tied 40-40, you play one deuce then a golden point to decide the game). Tiebreaks are first to 7 points.
Venue: Typically held at Jungle Padel in Ubud

Weekly and Social Events Across Bali
Not every gathering has to be a formal tournament. Some of the best padel experiences in Bali happen in the weekly social sessions where the pressure is off and the community vibe is on.
Bali Padel Academy (Canggu)
The island’s largest padel facility hosts regular tournaments and social sessions. Check their events page on the Playtomic App or their website for the weekly schedule. With 7 courts and a bar, BPA is built for both serious competition and casual hangouts.
Bam Bam Padel (Ubud)
Known for a more relaxed, wellness-focused atmosphere, Bam Bam runs social sessions and Americano events throughout the week. It’s a great spot if you want to play without the intensity of a formal tournament.
Monkey Padel (Ubud)
Monkey Padel regularly organises weekly Americano sessions and social play. Their community is welcoming to players of all levels, making it ideal for newcomers.
Sanur Padel
Sanur runs several formats: Social Games, Americano, and Cardio Padel sessions. The variety means you can choose the vibe that suits your mood.
The Padel Club at Bali Social Club
This venue hosts a social tournament format with Bronze and Silver leagues. It’s designed for players who want structure but not cutthroat competition.
Understanding Americano: Bali’s Favourite Social Format
Americano is the format that’s taken Bali by storm, especially for social play. Here’s how it works: instead of playing with a fixed partner, your partner rotates after each match. Every player competes as an individual, and you accumulate points across all rounds.
Why Americano? You get to play with and against everyone in the session. It’s the best way to meet other players, and there’s no pressure if you don’t have a regular partner. Bam Bam, Monkey Padel, Sanur Padel, and BPA all run Americano events regularly.
Typical session: 8, 12, or 16 players gather, play matches to 24 or 32 points each, and rotate partners. The whole thing usually wraps in about 2 hours. You’ll walk away having played with 3-4 different partners and against everyone at the session.
How to Find and Register for Events
Finding the right event is easier than ever. We’ve mapped out three platforms that make event discovery straightforward.
balipadeltournaments.com
This is your go-to portal for Bali’s complete padel calendar. Filter by zone, category, and date. Clubs can publish their events here, so if it’s happening in Bali, it’s probably listed. You can see everything from major tournaments to weekly social games in one place.
balipadelconnect.com
BalipadelConnect specialises in tournament discovery. Browse upcoming events with full details: dates, levels, formats, and exact locations. It’s especially good if you’re looking for tournaments that match your skill level.
Playtomic App
Playtomic is where BPA manages both court bookings and competition registration. Download the app, create a profile, and head to Bali Padel Academy’s Competitions tab to see what’s available. The app also lets you book courts at multiple venues.
How to Enter a Tournament: Step-by-Step
Ready to compete? Here’s how most Bali tournaments work.
1. Choose your tournament and check the entry requirements. Most tournaments have beginner-friendly categories (usually called Bronze or Level 1).
2. Register online (via Playtomic, the tournament’s website, or in person at the venue).
3. Pay the entry fee. Expect IDR 500,000 to IDR 1,000,000 per player (roughly $30-60 USD) for most tournaments.
4. Bring a partner, or register alone if the tournament allows partner matching.
5. Show up 15 minutes before your match, have your equipment ready, and enjoy the experience.
6. If it’s a round-robin or multi-match format, you’ll play several games. If it’s knockout, a loss means you move to the consolation bracket or are out.
Pro tip: If you’re new to tournaments, start with a social event or an Americano session. These are lower-pressure ways to get comfortable with competitive padel before entering a formal tournament bracket.
What to Expect at Your First Tournament
Walking onto the court for the first time can feel daunting. Here’s the reality:
You’ll arrive and check in with the tournament organiser. They’ll confirm your category and either assign you a partner or match you with another player if you came solo.
Warm up with your partner for 5-10 minutes before your match. Introduce yourselves and chat about strategy - even at beginner levels, a quick game plan helps.
The match itself is usually best of 3 sets, though some social formats use rally scoring to a point target (like first to 24 points).
After your match, spectate others, grab a drink, and soak in the community atmosphere. Padel brings people together, and tournaments are the ultimate example of that.
Even if you lose, you’ll have played good padel, met new people, and learned what you need to improve before the next event.
