The Russian Padel Federation's Moscow register currently lists 20 padel clubs

These are accredited venues where RPF tournaments can be held.

But looking more broadly, in Moscow and the Moscow Region as of June 2026 we found 58 locations for playing padel. Of these, 4 are Moscow Seasons venues, and the rest are commercial clubs.

And this is where the interesting maths begins.

If we count an average of 6 courts per location, that comes to about 348 courts.

At the same time, the Lunda app recently reported almost 100,000 users. Even if we very roughly assume that 70% of them are from Moscow and the region, that is about 70,000 people.

How many of them actually play actively is unknown. These figures are unconfirmed and are intended more for discussion than for a precise report.

But even with such a rough estimate, that works out at around 50 potential games per court.

That is, with active growth in the number of players — which is exactly what we are seeing now — there are still not enough courts.

But there is an important nuance.

Most players are working people with a usual 5/2 schedule, roughly from 9:00 to 18:00 or from 10:00 to 19:00.

Therefore, during the day, especially at lunchtime, clubs may be unevenly busy. But in prime time — in the evening after work and at weekends — there are often already not enough courts.

Hence my conclusion: it is too early to complain along the lines of "why are so many padel clubs opening".

The market is still growing. There are more and more players. And the availability of courts at convenient times still remains an issue.
