| The Miami Open presented by Itaú announced this year’s tournament will feature its first sanctioned Wheelchair Tennis Tournament and the inaugural Pro Padel League (PPL) II tournament along with continuous programming throughout the 15-day event. Multiple areas across campus, from Butch Buchholz Court to the new padel courts provided by Padel Revolution, will bring non-stop action to fans throughout the tournament with the purchase of a grounds pass.
Wheelchair tennis – invented in the United States in 1976 – is celebrating the sport’s 50th anniversary this year. The Miami Open has hosted wheelchair tennis since 2024, but this year marks the first time top players will compete in a sanctioned tournament for official ranking and points. The 2026 Miami Open Wheelchair Tennis Tournament will take place from Wednesday, March 25 through Friday, March 27.
The Miami Open will welcome the Pro Padel League (PPL) – the top professional padel league with 10 teams across the United States, Canada and Mexico – for its first-ever activation at the tournament. From March 15-29, the PPL will host all-day padel programming including professional matches, tennis crossovers, padel clinics, open court times in the Publix Padel Park and fan-friendly activations designed to showcase padel at the highest level. Programming will kick off with the inaugural PPL II tournament from March 15–18, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience professional padel up close.
Padel Programming
Featuring two world-class padel courts built by tournament partner Padel Revolution, Publix Padel Park will host two weeks of dynamic programming in collaboration with the Pro Padel League. Fans can experience competitive PPL & PPL II play, reserve court time or clinics, and enjoy complimentary walk-on access. For those looking to relax and take in the action, CÎROC will serve alcoholic beverages adjacent to the padel courts. For more information and a full court schedule, visit miamiopen.com/padel-park/.
