Playtomic Named Presenting Title Sponsor for 2026 RacquetX Festival in Fort Lauderdale

RacquetX, the world’s premier racquet sports festival, has announced a major new partnership with Playtomic, the world’s largest racquet sports community platform. Playtomic will serve as the presenting title sponsor for the 2026 RacquetX event, scheduled to take place in Fort Lauderdale from March 13–15.

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to growing racquet sports in the United States and advancing the role of technology in the sport. Now entering its third year, RacquetX has rapidly emerged as the largest gathering of racquet sport players, fans, and industry leaders worldwide.

As presenting sponsor, Playtomic will showcase its array technology offerings at the event and introduce The Perfect Match, a proprietary club methodology developed from global insights and best practices. Far more than a booking platform, Playtomic works directly with clubs to implement strategies that drive operational growth and enhance player engagement both on and off the court.

“Playtomic is one of the most prolific brands in global sport,” said RacquetX Co-Founder Robyn Duda.

“Partnering with them aligns perfectly with our mission to foster innovation and growth within the racquet sports industry. Their cutting-edge platform and investment in the U.S. market will help us continue to build momentum and engagement among players, clubs and partners at a time when racquet sports are thriving.”

The announcement follows Playtomic’s March 2025 funding round of $70 million (€65 million), including €55 million in equity and €10 million in debt financing from Banco Santander. The funds will support the platform’s continued expansion in the U.S. padel market, where it already works with more than 80 clubs and expects the number of courts nationwide to surpass 3,000 by 2026.

Playtomic’s investment will also enhance its club management software, Playtomic Manager, along with the user experience for players through app improvements, point-of-sale systems, tournament infrastructure, academy support, and multi-site functionality. The company now operates in 63 countries with 6,000 clubs and more than 1.5 million monthly active players.

“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with RacquetX and support the growth of padel in the U.S.,” said Playtomic Co-Founder Pablo Carro.

“The energy and passion surrounding RacquetX perfectly reflect the rapid expansion and enthusiasm for padel, and racquet sports collectively, across North America. Together, we look forward to driving innovation and delivering an unforgettable experience for the entire racquet sports community.”
