Usually you can follow the World Padel Tour on their Youtube channel. The matches are broadcast and commented in Spanish or English.
In France, Canal + has acquired the exclusive rights to rebroadcast the professional circuit. Since this 2021 Masters tournament, the matches are now broadcast on television on the encrypted channel.
If last Thursday you were able to follow some matches on Youtube, it is now over. The meetings are no longer broadcast for free in France, and you have to go to the channels of the Canal + group which offer Comments in French with in particular the two consultants padel : Laura Clergue and Robin Haziza.
This Sunday, December 19, 2021, to follow the ladies and men's finals, direction CANAL + and not CANAL + OFFSET as has been the case in recent days.
On social networks, some expressed the idea of seeing the finals in clear on C8. But not sure that CANAL + has planned this, at least for this Final Master.
Here are the schedules for tomorrow's finals:

I understand that they are starting, that it is good for the visibility of the padel in France, but what Canal did is really a horror:
- Journalists obviously do not know the padel (sounds like RG's comments on public service)
- We lose the comments in original version
- The matches are not in replay immediately (I wanted to watch the 1/4 Friday evening delayed and it was impossible)
- I doubt that the matches will remain in replay forever as was the case on youtube
In conclusion, it's more expensive and it's less good :-(
Are there other free or non-free ways to access the WPT? WPT TV ?; I saw a Swedish pay channel in streaming which seemed to broadcast all the tournaments and not only from 1/4, but unfortunately I do not speak Swedish.
