Scandinavia will host the third event in June, marking the circuit’s debut in Northern Europe. The season will culminate in Abu Dhabi from October 21 to 24, 2027.
The host cities for the North American and Scandinavian stages will be revealed soon.
The eight teams participating in 2027
The Hexagon World Series will see the participation of eight teams, with seven franchises already officialized and the eighth one to be announced later. The list of confirmed teams includes:
– AD/vantage Padel Team, champions in 2024 and 2026 with the support of Andy Murray, Anthony Joshua, Dani Vallverdú, and Arran Yentob;
– KRÜ Padel by Taktika, champions in 2025 led by Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero;
– ElevenEleven Team USA (supported by Eva Longoria);
– Rafa Nadal Academy Team;

– X Padel (supported by Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly and entrepreneur Loïc Féry);
– Dalma Team, the new franchise representing the capital of the UAE for the entire 2027 season.
With seven teams already revealed, attention now turns to the final spot on the grid. The identity of the eighth team will be revealed with a dedicated announcement.
Each team will field a male and a female pair, who will contribute equally to the world team ranking points, confirming Hexagon’s commitment to ensuring prize money parity between men and women. The composition of the individual pairs will be announced in the coming weeks.
A new race format designed for the audience
Along with the international expansion, Hexagon World Series has unveiled a revolutionary game format for 2027.
In discontinuity with the traditional scoring and in collaboration with FIP, the matches will be played in a best-of-five Super Tie-Break format, replacing the classic games and sets. The first four Super Tie-Breaks will be played to 10 points, while the eventual fifth and deciding one will be played to 6 points. The format will maintain the Star Point as the deciding point at 10-10 in tie-breaks.
The competition will see the eight teams divided into two groups of four for each event. Each head-to-head will include a male and a female match, with equal weight for scoring purposes. After the group stage, the teams will face off in a final bracket based on their group placement to determine the final event standings. For the first time, all four events will be connected by a single season-long leaderboard: teams will accumulate points based on the results of each stage to compete for the title of Hexagon World Series & Team World Championship champions. Winners of each individual tournament will receive 25 points, second-placed teams 18 points, third-placed 15 points, increasing from 12, 9, 6, 3, to 0 points awarded from fourth to eighth place.
