Many of you are wondering where we can watch the World Padel Tour from Valencia in Spain. Unfortunately, fans of padel French will once again be deprived of this show.
On this Friday, if you live in France, do not look, you simply cannot follow the matches of the quarter-finals of the World Padel Tour Valencia Open…
This is a somewhat unprecedented situation in the world of sport. Indeed, it is impossible for the French to see the quarters, halves and finals of the World Padel Tour Valencia Open.
Canal Plus, which holds the rights to the circuit in France, will not broadcast these meetings. On paper, nothing reprehensible since the private channel has not undertaken to broadcast all the events in 2022. We imagine that there is still an audience and a balanced budget to be found for it.
It therefore seems in its right, even if the “aficionados” of the padel in France are nonetheless helpless, especially since before the Marbella tournament, it was possible to follow the tournaments for free in France via WPT-TV. Why are these broadcasts no longer being made? Perhaps to prevent those who reside in a foreign country and who do not want to pay for a private channel to watch the matches for free using a VPN…
In the end, if we understand very well what drives the channel not to broadcast the matches, we still find it a shame that there is not yet an alternative to allow French fans to watch the matches. Fortunately, given the growth of padel in France andinvestment by Canal + in Premier Padel, we say to ourselves that the channel which bets on this sport in the long term will soon allow French people who wish to pay a subscription to follow all the biggest tournaments of padel in the world !

Once again taken hostage by channel
Great lover of this beautiful sport that is padel how is it possible to achieve this??????
Let us at least treat ourselves to some real live commentary in Spanish on the WPT live site if you decide not to broadcast no??????
Fully agree !!
What a pleasure to follow the matches with the Spanish commentaries that make us vibrate the matches! The French commentators on the channel are not professional and that spoils the fun a bit.
Hello
The boom that this sport is currently experiencing unfortunately comes at the expense of a lot of historical fans, you have to pay to see the matches and even by paying you are not sure to see them, the price of pitch reservations has even increased if it is more and more difficult to play during the week because everything is full (I am however in Bordeaux where there are several clubs), in short this sport suffers from its large-scale development which may be happening too quickly.
