Where to play padel in Sweden: a guide to finding courts

25 June 2026

Sweden is one of the fastest-growing padel countries in the world, with several thousand courts spread across the country - from major cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo to smaller towns where padel has often become part of the local gym or sports club.

Use the booking apps - don’t search manually

Almost all padel clubs in Sweden manage their bookings through MATCHi, the largest racket-sport booking platform in the Nordics, or through Playtomic, the largest in Europe overall. Rather than hunting for clubs one by one, search your city in either app - you’ll immediately see which courts exist, open time slots, and prices.

Many clubs are listed on both platforms, so it’s worth checking both if you can’t find an open slot on the first one.

Indoor or outdoor?

The Swedish climate makes indoor courts especially valuable for most of the year. Glass walls, the most common wall type on padel courts, are sensitive to moisture, rain, and low temperatures - the ball can slip or stick against the glass, making play difficult and sometimes risky during the winter months.

If you want to play year-round, prioritize clubs with indoor courts. In summer, outdoor courts are often cheaper and offer a more pleasant playing experience when the weather cooperates.

What to check before you book

• Wall type - full glass gives a faster, more predictable bounce and is the most common, while walls with mesh sections add some ventilation but play a bit differently.
• Lighting - if you’re playing in the evening, check reviews or photos to see how good the lighting is.
• Membership vs. drop-in - some clubs require membership to book in advance, while others allow drop-in bookings for anyone.
• Cancellation policy - most clubs have a cutoff (often 24 hours) for cancelling without a fee.

Finding playing partners

Both MATCHi and Playtomic let you create open matches that other players can join, an easy way to find partners at your level if you’ve moved to a new city or don’t have a regular group to play with.
