Market intelligence for the padel industry

Playskan Insights is a market-intelligence platform for the padel industry in the UK, Ireland and Germany. It aggregates data on every padel club, court, and market into one place — occupancy, pricing, revenue estimates, operator breakdowns, and planning applications — so owners, operators, and investors can benchmark performance and spot opportunities without piecing it together by hand.

All insights are derived from publicly available sources we monitor continuously — public booking-platform listings (availability and pricing), club websites, and public planning records — combined with proprietary modelling for metrics like revenue and occupancy. See our methodology page for the full breakdown.

We cover 1,586 padel clubs and 5,515 courts across 951 cities and towns in the UK, Ireland and Germany, members-only clubs included, spanning major cities and local authorities. Coverage grows as new clubs open and come online, and listings are refreshed regularly rather than captured once.

Our market data is updated daily — occupancy, pricing trends, and revenue estimates are recalculated each day from fresh booking activity. This means rankings, city reports, and club pages reflect recent performance rather than a one-off snapshot.

Occupancy is calculated from observed booking availability across tracked courts. Revenue is modelled by combining occupancy, court counts, and pricing data. These are estimates, not reported accounts — useful for benchmarking and market sizing. Our methodology page explains the models and their limitations in full.

There are 849 padel clubs and 2,920 courts across 435 UK cities and towns, members-only clubs included, and the number is climbing quickly as new venues open. You can see the live count, growth trend, and top markets on the UK market overview.

It varies widely by location, court count, pricing, and occupancy. Our modelling puts a typical established club in the several-hundred-thousand range a year, with the busiest city-centre sites clearing £3m, while smaller or newer venues earn considerably less. You can benchmark any club’s estimated revenue, occupancy, and revenue per court across our club and city reports.

New supply shows up first in planning records. We track more than 2,800 padel court planning applications across the UK — over 4,400 courts proposed — with location, status, and approval rates, so you can see exactly where the market is expanding next.

London leads by a wide margin, followed by Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, with fast growth across Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Browse any city’s clubs, occupancy, and pricing in the London market report or pick another city from the market pages.

You can explore club-level performance, occupancy rates, pricing trends, and revenue estimates, plus city and local-authority market reports, operator breakdowns, planning applications for upcoming clubs, and a revenue calculator. It is built for benchmarking clubs, sizing local markets, and spotting expansion opportunities.

Yes. We track planning applications for upcoming padel developments across the UK, including location and status. A redacted overview is publicly visible, while full application details and developer contacts are available on the Pro tier.

There are three tiers. Basic is free and gives access to core club and city pages. Pro is £200/month and unlocks full occupancy, pricing and revenue metrics, the full planning-applications tracker including developer and agent contacts, and the club planner. Investor adds operator and local-authority reports and multiple seats, and is priced individually based on portfolio size — get in touch for a quote. See the pricing section for a full comparison.

Core club and city insight pages are publicly accessible without an account. Deeper metrics — full occupancy and revenue figures, operator analysis, and planning-application detail — are gated behind the Pro and Investor tiers. You can browse the free pages first to see the depth before upgrading.

Every plan includes every market we cover: the UK, Ireland and Germany. There is no per-country add-on. Coverage differs between markets, because some features rely on data that only exists in some countries, such as planning registers or site constraint maps. See what's included in each market before you subscribe.

It is built for padel club owners and operators benchmarking their performance, and for investors and developers evaluating the padel market in the UK, Ireland and Germany. Basic suits casual research, Pro suits operators optimising existing clubs, and Investor suits those planning new sites or deploying capital.

No. Playskan is an independent market-intelligence platform, not affiliated with any club, operator, or governing body. That independence is the point — we aggregate public data across the whole market so the picture isn’t shaped by any single operator.

Yes. Paid plans are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time — you keep access until the end of your current billing period. You can manage your plan from your account page.
