The match schedule for the Hexagon Cup 2025 has been revealed, marking the return of professional padel’s most innovative and exciting tournament. With all eight teams confirmed, the draw has set the stage for thrilling world-class matches from the very first serve.
Three Pairs, Next Gen Innovation
As with the inaugural edition, each team features three pairs: one male, one female, and one Next Gen pair. This year, however, the Next Gen category will spotlight young female talent, reinforcing the Hexagon Cup’s commitment to the future of world padel. These rising stars, destined to shape the sport in the coming years, will compete alongside and against the best, gaining invaluable experience and exposure on one of padel’s grandest stages.
A New Format to Elevate the Action
The Hexagon Cup is growing and evolving. For its second edition, the tournament adopts a league format with finals on Sunday, guaranteeing non-stop action until the very end. Over the first four days of competition, each team will play eight matches: three men’s, three women’s, and two Next Gen. Victories in the men’s and women’s categories earn two points, while Next Gen wins add one point. The two teams with the highest points will advance to a Sunday final, played in a best-of-three format. The third and fourth-ranked teams will also compete in a playoff for the final podium spot. This exciting new system ensures that every match counts and promises edge-of-your-seat moments throughout the week. Matchups were determined via a pure draw, adding an extra layer of unpredictability.
