CUPRA Winter League
What?
A winter-long doubles competition, organised into divisions by level (women’s, men’s, mixed, from beginners to experts), featuring a local group stage and a grand final weekend.
Where?
You’ll play the local round at your own Arenal club; the final weekend takes place at Arenal Antwerpen, featuring the strongest teams from all clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands.
When?
Held annually, from November to early March; the final weekend brings the season to a close in late February/early March.
What is it?
You register as a pair (with a reserve player if required) in a division that suits your level, ranging from beginners to experts, ladies, men or mixed. The draw is based on the combined ranking of both players, so that you always play against opponents of a similar standard.
During the local round of the CUPRA Winter League, you’ll play a number of matches (usually up to eight) against different opponents from your own club. A group usually consists of between 4 and 9 teams.
Instead of a fixed weekly playing slot, you’ll indicate your preferred days when registering, after which the club will draw up a fixture list around those days. Changes can still be made afterwards by mutual agreement.
Anyone who brings in a completely new team that has not previously played in the CUPRA Winter League can earn a reward as an ‘ambassador’.
Those who make it far in the local round will get to compete against the strongest teams from all the other Arenal clubs during the CUPRA Winter League final weekend. The festive end to the season, with the atmosphere of a proper championship and great prizes for the winners – such as pairs of tickets for the Premier Padel Finals Barcelona 2027, a weekend with Tavascan, including accommodation and breakfast at Le Sanglier, or merchandise from the partners.

For everyone, from beginner to expert. There are women's, men's, mixed and open divisions, each at different levels. You play in the division that matches your P-points (in the Netherlands: your rating). The limits per division are in the rules on the event page.
You sign up as a team of 2 core players, optionally with 1 reserve player, via the Tournify link on the event page.
- After signing up, you'll receive a match schedule.
- You book a court yourself in the Arenal App. Each core player receives a code to book for free.
- Allow about an hour and a half per match.

Cancel your court via the Arenal App, up to 8 hours before the start. Can your reserve player step in? Then you simply play. A match that doesn't go ahead counts as a forfeit. In case of long-term injury or illness, you may replace a player with someone of at most the same ranking. All the details are in the rules.
