Padel Black Friday 2026: how to get racket deals right
Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November and, as every year, it’s full of padel racket deals. Some are genuinely interesting; others, not so much. In this guide we explain how racket pricing works, when it’s worth buying and what to check so you don’t get the racket wrong, which is what really matters.
When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2026
- Black Friday: Friday 27 November 2026.
- Cyber Monday: Monday 30 November 2026.
Many shops extend their offers all week, so it’s common to see discounts from mid-November.
Why November is a good time to buy a racket
Brands launch their new collections between autumn and winter. When the 2027 models arrive, the 2026 ones drop in price to make room. That means in these weeks you can find last season’s high-end rackets with big discounts, and in most cases the changes from one version to the next are small: a new design, a slightly different rubber or a balance tweak.

How to tell if a racket deal is real
- Compare with the RRP, not an inflated price. The recommended retail price (RRP) is set by the brand. A serious discount is calculated on that price, not on one the shop raised the week before.
- Check the season. 60% off a racket from three seasons ago may not be a good deal if the rubber has lost its properties after years in a warehouse.
- Be wary of impossible prices. A high-end racket at a beginner’s price on an unknown website is a red flag: buy from shops with company details, clear terms of sale and secure payment.
- Look at the final price including shipping. A €10 discount isn’t worth it if you then pay €9 for shipping.
The most important thing: choosing the right racket
The best discount in the world is useless if the racket doesn’t suit your game. Before getting carried away by the percentage, be clear about:
- Your level: beginner, intermediate or advanced.
- How you play: if you build the point from the back, a control racket; if you like to smash and finish at the net, a power racket. We explain it in control or power.
- Your body: if you have elbow or shoulder discomfort, prioritise moderate weight and a soft feel.

Frequently asked questions
Do rackets drop more on Black Friday or in the January sales?
It depends on the model. In November there’s usually more stock from the previous season; in January there are fewer units and fewer colour options left. If you’re after a specific model, November is usually the better time.
Is it worth buying last year’s version?
In most cases, yes. The differences between versions are usually small and the savings large. Just make sure it isn’t too many years old.
Can I return a racket bought on Black Friday?
Yes. At PadelPro365 the terms are the same all year: 30 days from when you receive it.
