About Italy Major
- The Italy Major was one of the four Majors on Premier Padel's first season in 2022, alongside Doha, Paris and Monterrey.
- It is played outdoors at the Parco Sportivo Foro Italico in Rome.
- Premier Padel and the FIP renewed the Italy Major in June 2025 with a multi-year agreement.
- The 2026 edition ran from 31 May to 7 June, with qualifying on 31 May and 1 June and the main draw from 2 to 7 June. Prize money was €1,044,849.
- The 2026 main draw had 48 men's pairs and 40 women's pairs. Matches are played over a maximum of three sets.
- Winning a Major is worth 2,000 FIP ranking points to each player in the pair.
- In 2026 Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia beat Federico Chingotto and Alejandro Galán 7-5 7-6 in the men's final, their second Rome title after 2023. Delfina Brea and Gemma Triay beat Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero 6-1 7-5 to win Rome for the second year running.
- More than 9,000 fans packed the Foro Italico for the 2026 finals. That week's women's semi-final between Sánchez/Ustero and Josemaría/González lasted 4 hours 12 minutes, the longest match ever played on the Premier Padel circuit.
- From 2026, games that reach deuce use the FIP's new Star Point system: two advantage points, then a single deciding 'Star Point'.
- Red Bull TV streams Premier Padel from the quarter-finals to the final, and Premier Padel's YouTube channel streams rounds 1-3 free in selected territories. Red Bull's deal runs until the end of the 2027 season.
