Hexagon Cup 2026: teams, where to watch
The Hexagon Cup 2026 has kicked off in Madrid, running through to Sunday with 32 of the world’s top players – backed by celebrity team owners – battling it out for supremacy in a super-charged environment at the Caja Magica arena in Madrid.
Spectators will be treated to tight matches from the likes of Agustín Tapia, Arturo Coello, Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea – almost the entire women’s top 16 is represented, with only Ale Galan and Juan Lebron missing from the men’s top players.
“The level of the teams is incredible,” said Sergio Lewin, of Hexagon Cup. “And the ambition of each one makes this the most competitive edition so far. You can tell that teams are refining their strategies when building their rosters: betting on young players, new franchise stars…the team format, with its mix of styles, strategies and generations, guarantees excitement from the first point to the grand final. We want the audience to experience padel like never before.”
A key element of the event is showcasing next generation talent, this year the turn of male pairs, all ranked in the top 150 in the world.
Tennis star Andy Murray’s team ADvantage won the first Hexagon Cup, in 2024, and is already showing its strength this year, with strong pairings of Martin Di Nenno/Juan Tello and Delfi Brea/Martina Calvo (promoted from Next Gen).
