2026 ATP Masters 1000 Schedule

2026 WTA 1000 Schedule

2026 ATP 500 Tournaments

The ATP 500 tier sits below the Masters 1000 and above the ATP 250 events, awarding 500 ranking points to the champion. The 13 ATP 500 events attract strong fields and often feature significant storylines — especially the traditional Wimbledon warm-ups on grass and the Masters 1000 bridges on clay and hard.

2026 WTA 500 Tournaments

The WTA 500 tier awards 500 ranking points to the champion and features at least 14 events across the season. The grass swing ahead of Wimbledon and the US Open warm-ups are key stops.

Tennis Tournaments by Surface

Each tennis surface produces different styles of match and favours different types of players. Here is the tour broken down by surface.

Hard Court Tennis Tournaments

Hard courts are the most common surface on tour and host two Grand Slams (Australian Open and US Open). Play is fast with consistent, predictable bounce, rewarding aggressive ball striking and big serves. Key hard court events: Australian Open, US Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Canadian Open, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris Masters.

Clay Court Tennis Tournaments

Clay is the slowest surface on tour, producing longer rallies and rewarding heavy topspin, defensive skills and physical stamina. Key clay events: French Open, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Barcelona.

Grass Court Tennis Tournaments

The shortest surface season — roughly four weeks in June and July. Grass rewards fast serving, aggressive play and low trajectories. Key grass events: Wimbledon, Queen’s Club, Halle, Eastbourne, Berlin.

Year-End Finals

The season concludes with the year-end championships for the top eight singles players and doubles teams on each tour.

• ATP Finals (Turin) — 9-16 Nov 2026. Indoor hard. Round-robin format for the top 8 players in the Race to Turin, followed by knockout semi-finals and a final.
• WTA Finals (Riyadh) — Nov 2026. Hard. Same format for the top 8 women in the Race to Riyadh.
