The Oysho Milano Premier Padel P1 ended on Sunday 18 October with 38,794 spectators at the Allianz Cloud, 9.3% more than in 2025. It is the best attendance in the tournament’s history. The event ran from 10 to 18 October and closed Premier Padel’s European swing.

What the figure measures

It is the total for the whole tournament, not for a single day. The International Padel Federation (FIP), which published the figure, does not say whether it counts individual people or the sum of tickets across all the sessions. The record belongs to the Milan P1, not to the tour as a whole.

On court, the tournament brought Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia their 12th title of 2026 and Ari Sánchez her 58th, which, with Andrea Ustero, drew her level with Gemma Triay and Ale Salazar. We covered it in Coello and Tapia’s title count and in Ari Sánchez’s record.

What comes next

The next tournament is the Kuwait Major. Qualifying (the rounds that decide who enters the main draw) started on Friday 23 October, the main draw began on Sunday 25 and the finals are on Saturday 31, according to the FIP’s tournament page (Premier Padel’s report on the Milan finals still gave Monday 26 October as the start date). All the dates are in our Premier Padel calendar.
