Where do the standings stand?
After Playa del Carmen, DC Matrix lead the Pro Padel League with 98 points, with Florida, Mexico, Toronto and San Diego firmly in the top group. New York hold sixth with 52, the final direct-entry spot for the Finals in Miami.
Below the line it's a scramble: Los Angeles 36, Las Vegas 35, Miami 32 and Houston 28. That's four franchises separated by eight points with one regular-season weekend to play.
Why does sixth place matter so much?
Because seventh is a much harder road. The top six advance directly into the Finals main draw in Miami, December 3-6. Seventh and eighth have to earn their places through Thursday's Preliminary Round against PPL II competition, and four PPL II pairings have already qualified for it.
Who has the momentum?
Mexico Waves, on the men's side. They've won back-to-back titles, in Los Angeles and in Playa del Carmen, where Maximiliano Arce and David Gala beat Miami Padel Club 6-4, 7-6 in the final after surviving a 13-11 super tiebreak against DC the day before. Gala is 6-0 in his PPL career, with a title in each of the two tournaments he's entered.
In the women's draw, San Diego's Claudia Jensen and Veronica Virseda are 6-0 together this season after beating Las Vegas 6-2, 6-4 in the Playa del Carmen final.
How can I watch Guadalajara?
The Guadalajara final airs on CNBC on November 22 as part of the league's 2026 deal with USA Sports, and the league streams every event on its YouTube channel. More in how to watch padel in the US and our PPL team guide.
