Of the eight players on each team, six players will be from North America to further boost and promote the growth of Padel across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The PPL's inaugural season will kick-off in May of 2023 with seven teams and conclude with the PPL CUP in June of 2023 where the four best teams will compete for the title.

Over 8 million players are projected to be playing in the U.S. by 2030. The PPL will enable players, coaches, team owners, facility owners, broadcasters, fans, sponsors, and brands to all be involved in, and capitalize on, the sport's explosive growth.

Dedicated to celebrating Padel's Spanish roots, the League has made VAMOS the PPL's official slogan. For more information on the PPL, visit: https://propadelleague.com/. VAMOS!
