Padel in Munich: where to play, what it costs, and how to find partners
Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in Europe – and Munich is catching up fast. Here are the best courts, what it costs to play, and how to find the three partners you actually need to get on court.

What does padel cost in Munich?
Padel courts are booked per hour – split across up to four players, it gets surprisingly cheap per person. Exact prices depend on the venue, time of day (evening peak slots cost more) and indoor vs. outdoor. You'll see live prices when booking through Playtomic or Eversports. Rental rackets are available almost everywhere for a small fee.
Padel for beginners: hooked in an hour
Padel plays like a mix of tennis and squash, but it's far more accessible. The court is smaller, the glass walls are part of the game, and you almost always play doubles. That's exactly why it's fun from the first minute, even without a tennis background. Grab a rental racket, bring someone with a bit of experience, and go.
The real problem: three partners at your level
Booking a court is easy. The hard part is rounding up three more people who are free at the same time and roughly the same level. Asking around five WhatsApp groups and still ending up one short – everyone knows the feeling. That's where Lyo comes in: instead of luck, our MatchUp pairs you by sport, level and location with the right people in Munich. No hunting, no herding – just play.
