A new chapter is unfolding for women’s padel in the U.S., as 6 Love Sports (6LS) announces a dynamic partnership with sleep innovation company Eight Sleep. This collaboration has led to the rebranding of Miami’s flagship women’s padel league, now officially titled the Eight Sleep Miami Women’s Padel League by 6 Love Sports.
The partnership brings together two performance-driven brands with a shared vision: to elevate women’s padel while promoting wellness, recovery, and peak performance. With the league’s new season set to kick off on August 7, 2025, more than 160 women across various divisions are expected to participate, bringing electric energy to the courts and the community surrounding them.
“We are all in. Padel is more than just a game – it’s a way of life,” said Andi Neugarten, Founder of 6 Love Sports. “It’s healthy, social, addictive in the best way, and deeply empowering. The women in our community train hard, support one another, and are building something extraordinary. Eight Sleep recognizes that power, and we’re thrilled to bring their revolutionary product into our world.”

As part of the partnership, Eight Sleep will be awarding two of its latest Pod 5 smart mattresses to the winning team at the end of each league season. These beds are not your average sleep setup – the Pod 5 incorporates AI-driven temperature control, advanced sleep tracking, and personalized health insights to help users enhance their recovery and overall performance. According to studies referenced by Eight Sleep, consistent use of the Pod for just two weeks can lead to a 23% increase in upper body endurance, a 16% gain in core endurance, and an 8% improvement in aerobic fitness (VO₂ max) – results that mirror several weeks of intense training, achieved purely through optimized sleep.
This focus on high-performance recovery dovetails seamlessly with the mission of 6 Love Sports. Since its inception, the organisation has fostered a vibrant community of women united by their love for padel. What began as a grassroots initiative in Miami has grown into a citywide force, with women from all walks of life participating in regular matches, events, and community-building activities. “Our players may come together for padel,” said Neugarten, “but the real strength of our league lies in the diverse skills, stories, and experiences they bring. Women are better together, and this league is living proof.”
6 Love Sports positions itself as more than a sports league – it’s a movement built on empowerment, connection, and excellence. Through programming that nurtures both athletic and personal growth, 6LS offers a platform for women to shine both on and off the court. This makes the partnership with Eight Sleep especially meaningful. Known for pushing the boundaries of sleep technology, Eight Sleep appeals to a demographic that understands the value of recovery and performance. By teaming up with 6LS, Eight Sleep taps into a health-conscious, driven audience – women who are as focused on wellness as they are on winning.
As women’s participation in padel continues to surge – now comprising nearly 40% of global players – the collaboration between 6 Love Sports and Eight Sleep feels especially timely. It reflects not just the sport’s explosive growth but also the rising demand for women-centred spaces in sports that celebrate performance, community, and well-being.
With plans to expand to additional U.S. cities, 6 Love Sports is poised to bring its signature blend of passion and purpose to new regions. Eight Sleep will be an integral partner in this journey, supporting growth in each new market whilst amplifying the voices and achievements of women athletes along the way. This league, and the broader vision it represents, is about more than competition. It’s about creating momentum for a sport and a community that is redefining what it means to be strong, connected, and fully alive.
