Build your friend group in a fun and active way with a weekly game of Padel. Start a crew at a padel club near you or find a crew that needs another player.
Free to join. No subscription required.
Most weekly padel games in Lisbon run on a WhatsApp group with endless messages trying to organize a game at a random time. There is no consistency with games. One person books the court, fronts the fee, then chases three people for their share. Someone drops out in the afternoon, the group scrambles for a fourth, and you find out an hour before that the game is off.
Finding a regular game that fits your week, with people at your level, mostly comes down to luck. And if you just moved to Portugal, you're not in any of those groups yet. We’ve fixed this.
With PadelSeat, you can manage your Padel crews much easier than digging through WhatsApp messages. You can find and claim a seat in a weekly Crew that already exists or start your own crew that fits your preferences and in your area. PadelSeat will book the court for you, so all you have to do is show up and play.
Find a local crew with a space for you. Check where they play, their weekly schedule and their playing level, then join a group that fits your life. You don’t need to know anyone to get started.
Choose a club near you, the days and times that work, and the pace you like to play at. Invite friends or welcome new players, whether you’re learning the basics or looking for a more competitive game.
Someone can’t make it? Make the spare seat available for another local player to join. Open Seats helps you find a fourth, and gives players a way to pick up an extra game without a weekly commitment.
Keep the conversation with your crew, the next game’s details and court payments together. Use the group chat to make plans, with game and payment reminders to help everyone stay on top of the week.
Make room in your week for a game you look forward to. A regular crew means familiar faces and a shared routine, so you spend less time finding people to play with and more time on court.
Let your crew know as soon as you can and check the seat options in the app. If you gift your seat, a replacement plays for free and you remain responsible for your court share. Any agreed refund is handled directly with whoever received your payment, rather than automatically through PadelSeat.
PadelSeat is free to join, with no subscription or app fee. The court cost is split equally between four players. You’ll see your share in the game details before you pay.
A full game needs four players. Invite someone to join or use Open Seats to find a replacement. For a new crew, the court is booked once all four places are filled. If an already-booked game is cancelled, speak with the booker about any court costs or an agreed refund. Payments and refunds are handled directly, not charged or returned automatically by PadelSeat.
You don’t need to save a card in PadelSeat. Pay your court share directly to the booker through Revolut or Wise, using the details shown in the app. After sending the payment, mark it as sent in PadelSeat. The booker then confirms when it has arrived.
No, they’re different sports. Padel is usually played in doubles on an enclosed court, and you can play the ball off the glass walls. It uses a solid, perforated racket and a ball similar to a tennis ball. Pickleball uses a smaller, open court, a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. Both are social games, but the rules and the way you play are different.
Yes. Look for a crew that welcomes beginners so you can learn with people at a similar pace. Padel 101 in the app covers the rules, gear and what to expect at your first game.
