Padel in Bayern 2026: courts, venues and the best cities at a glance
Padel in Bayern: the scene in 2026
77 padel venues across 56 cities – Bayern has become one of Germany's most vibrant padel markets. München, Nürnberg, Augsburg, and Neufahrn bei Freising lead the way with enough courts to choose between different venues, time slots and price ranges.
Beyond the major cities, smaller locations are catching up fast. New padel halls are opening with shorter wait times and tight-knit communities where finding playing partners is easy.
Indoor or outdoor – what works best in Bayern?
39% of courts in Bayern are covered (100 indoor), while 61% are open-air (159 outdoor). For year-round play, indoor courts are the reliable choice – especially during the colder months when outdoor availability drops.
In summer, outdoor courts are worth seeking out: natural light, fresh air and a more laid-back vibe make the game feel completely different. Many players switch between both depending on the season.
Big city or small town – where's the better play?
Larger cities in Bayern offer more variety: multiple venues, different court types and generally more flexible booking – especially for evening and weekend slots. The trade-off is that popular times fill up quickly.
Smaller locations have a different edge: less demand means more spontaneous availability. If you don't need to play in a major city, these spots can be a more relaxed alternative – and save you travel time.
Finding the right court in Bayern
