Where and how to watch the World Padel Tour competitions?

Thanks to streaming, the offer of live matches is much wider. As usual, the official World Padel Tour Youtube channel will broadcast up to 12 matches from each tournament live. This includes quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. In addition, the broadcast offer has expanded a bit for this season. Fans in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark) will be able to follow every detail of the matches that will be broadcast by NENT via streaming through its Viaplay platform. Thus, paddle tennis continues to grow and more than 500 hours of paddle tennis are guaranteed for this region.

Changes in regulations for the 2020 season

The 2020 World Padel Tour season comes with new rules that will be applied from the first tournament. The one that has been on everyone's lips these days is the "Golden Point". Although this rule is already written in the official FIP regulations, it will be the first time it is applied in official competitions. This rule aims to reduce the duration of matches and make them more dynamic for television broadcasts. It consists of playing a single point that will define the game in case of a tie in points. This new rule has caused a lot of controversy, delighting some and angering others. Another change we will see this season is related to the timing at different moments of the game. The WPT will increase the level of demand and become stricter regarding penalties for time loss before and during matches. This rule regulates warm-up times, time between points, breaks, time between sets, and medical treatment time.
