Generali Hexagon Cup, from Wednesday to Sunday in Madrid the best of world padel for the first FIP team circuit

A revolutionary event: the first team padel circuit under FIP governance, fully integrated into the Federation’s official calendar. The week leading up to the Generali Hexagon Cup 2026 begins, scheduled from Wednesday, 28 January to Sunday, 1 February at the Caja Mágica in Madrid, featuring the world’s top female and male players, divided into teams chaired by stars from sport and entertainment. Footballer Robert Lewandowski, former Argentine striker Sergio “Kun” Agüero, Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly, boxer Anthony Joshua, former tennis player Andy Murray, actresses María Esteve and Eva Longoria, and Maribel Nadal, sister of tennis legend Rafa Nadal, are just some of the “presidents” of the eight teams that will entertain Madrid for four days. This is the first stop of the tour, created through a strategic partnership between Hexagon Cup, Premier Padel, FIP, and 54, a global sports and entertainment agency. The other three stops will take place from 7–10 May, 22–25 October, and 17–20 December.
