Padel Central is returning to Hong Kong’s Central Harbourfront this summer, bringing the fast-growing racket sport back to AIA Vitality Park from 15 May to 14 June 2026.
Presented by UBS, the event will once again combine padel courts with hospitality, entertainment and a relaxed social setting by the water. Organisers said the return follows a strong first edition, which welcomed more than 9,500 people and helped grow a local padel community in Hong Kong.
One of the main highlights will be the return of Social Serve, an open-format social tournament designed for players of all levels. Instead of a formal competition, participants rotate through short rallies in a relaxed setting, with food, drinks and live DJs adding to the atmosphere. The format is designed to make the sport more approachable, whether visitors are experienced players or trying padel for the first time.
Off the court, visitors will be able to gather at an on-site lounge for post-match drinks and catch-ups. Life Solutions will also provide complimentary drinking water, with reusable bottles available for purchase.
To mark its return, Padel Central is also running a limited-time giveaway. Participants can enter through the event’s official Instagram or Facebook page by sharing why they enjoy the Padel Central experience and tagging three friends. The comment with the most likes will win one free off-peak court session.
Otherwise, court bookings open on 8 May at 12pm, with prices starting from HK$175 at www.evenbrite.hk.
