Key Takeaways

  • Under official FIP governance, the Hexagon Cup will be renamed the Hexagon World Series in 2027 and stage 4 events across 3 continents.
  • Rather than using conventional games and sets, matches will follow a best-of-5 super tie-breaks system, with the Star Point deciding a 10-10 tie.
  • Seven of the 8 franchises have been confirmed, among them former champions supported by Andy Murray and Kun Agüero, while Abu Dhabi will stage the October 2027 finale.

FIP integration and worldwide expansion in 2027

After holding its first 3 editions in Madrid, Enrique Buenaventura’s team padel competition is set for a major expansion. The Hexagon Cup will be rebranded as the Hexagon World Series, visiting 4 countries on 3 continents in 2027 and replacing traditional games and sets with an unconventional scoring format.

Officially recognized by the International Padel Federation (FIP) as the leading professional team padel circuit, the competition now sits in the formal pyramid alongside Premier Padel and the Cupra FIP Tour. Founded in 2024, it grew from 6 teams to 8 in 2025, while its latest edition drew more than 37,000 spectators.

Madrid to Abu Dhabi: the 2027 schedule

Madrid’s Caja Mágica will again launch the season, hosting the opening event from January 21 to 24. The series then heads to North America in March before making its Scandinavian debut in Northern Europe in June. Host cities for those 2 stops have not yet been announced.

Abu Dhabi will host the final event from October 21 to 24, 2027, bringing the circuit to the Middle East for the first time. The inaugural Hexagon World Series team champions will be determined there by the cumulative season standings.

Team structure and confirmed franchises

Seven of the circuit’s 8 franchises have already been named. They include all previous champions: Andy Murray-backed AD/vantage Padel Team, which won in 2024 and 2026, and Kun Agüero’s KRÜ Padel by Taktika, the 2025 winner.

Also in the field are Eva Longoria’s Eleven Eleven, the Rafa Nadal Academy Team, María Esteve and Carlos López-Lay-backed Team Bella Puerto Rico, Pierre Gasly and Loïc Féry’s X Padel, and Abu Dhabi representative Dalma Team, a newly created franchise. The eighth team will be announced later.

Each franchise will enter 1 men’s pair and 1 women’s pair, with both contributing the same points to the standings and competing for equal prize money. Player lineups are due to be disclosed in the coming weeks.

Tournament points and the super tie-break system

Traditional sets and games will be removed entirely under a scoring system created with the FIP. Matches will instead use a best-of-5 super tie-breaks format: the first 4 will be played to 10 points, and a deciding fifth will be played to 6. If a super tie-break reaches 10-10, the next immediate decider will be the Star Point.

For each tournament weekend, the 8 teams will be split into 2 groups containing 4 squads apiece. Team ties will consist of 1 men’s match and 1 women’s match, each carrying the same number of points. Placement matches after the group phase will determine the finishing positions at the event.

Final placings at each of the 4 events will earn points toward a single Hexagon World Series Team Championship table:

Finishing position Championship points
1st place 25
2nd place 18
3rd place 15
4th place 12
5th place 9
6th place 6
7th place 3
8th place 0
