2026 ATP Tour Calendar

The 2026 Australian Open ran from 18 January to 1 February 2026 at Melbourne Park in Melbourne. It is the first Grand Slam of the season, known as “The Happy Slam” for the atmosphere it creates for players and fans alike. Surface: hard court (GreenSet). Singles draw: 128 players. Points for the title: 2000. Defending champion (2025): Jannik Sinner.

Roland Garros 2026 (the French Open) ran from 24 May to 7 June 2026 on the clay courts of Stade Roland-Garros in Paris. It is the only Grand Slam played on clay, and matches on the Paris clay can last more than five hours. The Philippe-Chatrier centre court has a retractable roof, so play can continue in the rain. Defending champion (2025): Carlos Alcaraz.

Wimbledon 2026 ran from 29 June to 12 July 2026 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. This is the 139th edition of the oldest tennis tournament in the world and the only Grand Slam played on grass. It is famous for its traditions: the all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, and the Royal Box. Play finishes by 11 p.m. London time – the only Grand Slam with a night-time curfew. Defending champion (2025): Jannik Sinner.

The US Open 2026 runs from 30 August to 13 September 2026 on the hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York (Flushing Meadows). It is the last Grand Slam of the season and the best attended – more than 800,000 spectators every year. Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest tennis arena in the world, seating over 23,000. The tournament is known for its loud New York crowds and its night sessions. Defending champion (2025): Carlos Alcaraz.

Carlos Alcaraz won the 2026 Australian Open, beating Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in the final for his first title in Melbourne.

Alexander Zverev won Roland Garros 2026. It was the German’s first Grand Slam title, at the fourth time of asking in a major final.

Jannik Sinner won Wimbledon 2026, successfully defending the title he won in 2025.

Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open in 2025 and is defending the title in New York. The 2026 tournament is under way.

The 2026 ATP season has nine Masters 1000 tournaments, in calendar order: Indian Wells (4–15 March), Miami (18–29 March), Monte Carlo (5–12 April), Madrid (22 April – 3 May), Rome (6–17 May), the Canadian Open (2–13 August), Cincinnati (13–23 August), Shanghai (7–18 October) and Paris-Bercy (October/November). The key change is that seven of the nine now run in the extended 12-day format, with a 96-player draw instead of 56; only Monte Carlo and Paris keep the shorter format. A title is worth 1000 ranking points.

Winning a Grand Slam is worth 2000 ATP ranking points. A Masters 1000 title carries 1000 points, an ATP 500 title 500 points and an ATP 250 title 250 points.

Roland Garros (the French Open) is played on clay. It is the only Grand Slam played on that surface.

The Nitto ATP Finals 2026 run from 15 to 22 November 2026 in Turin, Italy, at the Inalpi Arena (formerly the Pala Alpitour). Only the eight best singles players and the eight best doubles teams of the season qualify, which is why the event is treated as an unofficial world championship. The format is a group stage followed by semi-finals and the final, on indoor hard courts. An unbeaten champion can collect up to 1500 ranking points. Defending champion: Jannik Sinner. Turin is the last edition of the ATP Finals in Italy – from 2027 the event is expected to move to Japan.

The ATP Tour (Association of Tennis Professionals) is the main circuit of professional men’s tennis. A season is made up of the Grand Slams, the Masters 1000, ATP 500 and ATP 250 events and the season-ending ATP Finals. In 2026 there are more than 60 tournaments worldwide.

The 2026 ATP season covers 59 tournaments in 29 countries, not counting the four Grand Slams. The calendar holds nine ATP Masters 1000 events (seven of them in the extended 12-day format), 16 ATP 500 events, 29 ATP 250 events, the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin (15–22 November) and the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah. The season opens with the United Cup (2–11 January) and closes with the Davis Cup after the ATP Finals. It runs from early January to late November – more than ten months of tennis.

Jannik Sinner leads the ATP rankings with 11,000 points, ahead of Alexander Zverev (9,630) and Carlos Alcaraz (5,060). Behind them come Ben Shelton (4,680), Félix Auger-Aliassime (3,890) and Daniil Medvedev (3,860). The ATP ranking is based on points won over the last 52 weeks, counting each player’s 18 best results.

The main changes: Marseille (ATP 250) moved from February to October, Stockholm (ATP 250) moved from October to November, Metz (ATP 250) dropped off the calendar, and Estoril (ATP 250) returned in a new slot – July instead of its traditional April. The wider trend is the continuation of the ATP OneVision reforms: a full 50:50 profit share at the Masters 1000 events and extended draw formats.

London hosts two ATP tournaments, both on grass: the HSBC Championships (ATP 500) in June, and Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis Club at the turn of June and July. You will find the dates in the table above.

Players in the top 30 must enter the four Grand Slams and eight Masters 1000 events. In 2026 the number of tournaments counting towards the ranking dropped from 19 to 18, giving players more room to recover. The Masters 1000 events are mandatory for the highest-ranked players, with the exception of Monte Carlo, which is treated as informally mandatory. Missing one without a valid medical reason costs ranking points.

The Sunshine Double is winning both back-to-back Masters 1000 tournaments in March: Indian Wells in California and the Miami Open in Florida. Both are played on hard courts and count among the most important events on the ATP and WTA calendars. Indian Wells is often called the fifth Grand Slam.

The ATP Finals use their own scale: 200 ranking points for each group-stage win, 400 for reaching the semi-final and 500 for the final. An unbeaten champion who wins every group match and then the knockout stage collects 1500 points in total, which makes the ATP Finals the highest-scoring event of the season after the Grand Slams.

Video review lets officials check difficult situations: double bounces, net touches and unsportsmanlike conduct. From the 2026 season it is available on every court at ATP 500 tournaments – an extension of a system that previously ran only at selected venues. It allows calls that used to rest on the umpire’s judgement alone to be verified precisely.

After 32 years the Open 13 Provence has left Marseille. From the 2026 season it is played as the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes at the modern LDLC Arena in Lyon, in a new October slot. Moving both the venue and the date (from February to October) fits the indoor autumn block of the ATP calendar, where the tournament now sits alongside Basel and Vienna.

The record belongs to Carlos Alcaraz, who reached number one in 2022 at the age of 19 years and 4 months, after winning the US Open. It was the fastest rise to the top in the history of the computer ranking, which the ATP has kept since 1973. Alcaraz broke the previous record held by Lleyton Hewitt, who got there at 20 years and 8 months.

The 2026 season brings stricter player-health procedures built around the WBGT index (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature), which measures not only air temperature but also humidity and the sunlight falling on the court. At a reading of 30.1 °C players may ask for a ten-minute cooling break after the second set, during which they can shower, change kit or see a doctor. If the WBGT passes 32.2 °C, the umpire must suspend play on outdoor courts until conditions improve.
