Padel courts in Mexico City: places and areas

Where are the padel courts in Mexico City? There is no official census of sports courts, so this guide counts what is recorded in our directory. For Mexico City and the municipalities around it, that is today 43 places with padel and at least 78 courts counted, spread over 6 directory cities.

Every figure is calculated from the same data the padel-by-city pages use, so if you open one you will see the same number. They are minimums: an area may have more courts than anyone has recorded yet, which is why it pays to confirm with the club before you go.

How many padel courts there are in Mexico City

We count two things separately. A place is a club, sports centre or park with at least one padel court; a court is each individual court recorded. A club with four courts counts as one place and four courts, and sometimes a place is recorded without anyone knowing how many courts it has, so the courts counted are a minimum.

Here we group Mexico City with the neighbouring directory cities that make up its urban area: 15 in all, of which 6 have at least one padel place. That is our way of reading the directory, not an official metropolitan-area boundary. Across all sports, that same area adds up to 436 places and 803 courts counted; padel in Mexico City is 9% of the 478 padel places the directory records across Mexico.

The data is as of September 25, 2026. It comes from OpenStreetMap, the open map its contributors edit, and from public sources we research club by club. They are not clubs verified by MeetAndPlay.

Areas and municipalities with the most padel courts

These are the 6 cities or municipalities in the area with the most padel places, with their courts counted:

• 1. Ciudad de México: places: 32, courts: 56
• 2. Huixquilucan: places: 3, courts: 11
• 3. Naucalpan (Naucalpan de Juárez): places: 3, courts: 6
• 4. Texcoco: places: 2, courts: 5
• 5. Atizapán de Zaragoza: places: 2, courts: 0
• 6. Tlalnepantla de Baz: places: 1, courts: 0

The area with the most places is Ciudad de México, with 32, which is 74% of the padel places in Mexico City; Huixquilucan follows with 3. When a city shows zero courts, it means it has places recorded but nobody has counted their courts, not that it has none.

Padel is almost never spread evenly: it gathers where there are more new clubs and more people willing to pay for an hour of court time. If your neighbourhood is not listed, check the neighbouring areas too, because in a big city half an hour of travel can change the choice a lot.

Covered and outdoor courts

The directory knows whether courts are covered or outdoor only for a few clubs researched one by one, so we do not calculate how many of each there are in Mexico City: that would be making the figure up. What we can say is what to ask.

An outdoor court depends on the weather: strong midday sun, afternoon heat and seasonal rain can cancel a match or move its time. A covered court usually gives more certainty, although it can also be hotter inside. Before booking, ask the club whether the court is covered, what surface it has and whether there are lights for playing at night.

Padel, tennis and pickleball in the area

To put padel in context: in the same Mexico City area the directory records 146 places with tennis and 9 with pickleball, against 43 with padel. If your group wants to try another racket sport, the sport-by-city pages show the places and a map.

How it compares with other big cities

With the same method, these are the three big urban areas we compare, with their padel places and courts counted. The gap between them reflects what is recorded, not necessarily how many courts exist:

• Mexico City: places: 43, courts: 78, cities with padel: 6
• Monterrey: places: 28, courts: 39, cities with padel: 7
• Guadalajara: places: 29, courts: 57, cities with padel: 4

Practical tips for playing in Mexico City

These tips hold for any club in the area; exact prices and hours are set by each club and change, which is why we do not quote them here.

• Book ahead. Weekday afternoons and evenings, and weekend mornings, tend to be the most requested. See the guide on how to book a padel court for the ways to reserve an hour.
• Try quieter times. Playing mid-morning or at midday on a weekday is usually easier to get. The guide to the best times to play padel in Mexico explains when there tends to be more room.
• Split the cost four ways. Padel is played in doubles, so the court is shared among four people. If everyone pays their share from the start, nobody is left with the bill; the guide to splitting the court payment gives simple ways to do it.
• Plan for traffic. In a big city, the trip counts as much as the time slot: pick a club near home or work and arrive early enough to warm up.
• Confirm before you leave. Hours, prices, roof and availability change. The directory tells you where to look; the club tells you whether there is a court.

How to find your court

Every city in this guide links to its padel page and its courts page, with the places and a map. MeetAndPlay is a directory, not a booking service: to reserve an hour you go straight to the club. If you need a partner or an opponent, the MeetAndPlay community helps you find someone to play with; and if you know of a court that is missing, you can ask for it to be added.

In short

As of September 25, 2026, the directory records 43 padel places and at least 78 courts in Mexico City and its area, with Ciudad de México in front. These are minimum figures that change every time the directory is updated, and this guide is recalculated with it. Use the numbers to decide where to start, and confirm with the club before you go.
