French Open 2026: Total Prize Money
| Tour | Total Pool | Singles Winner | Winner Points |
| Men’s Singles | EUR 56.352 million (combined) | EUR 2,550,000 | 2,000 |
| Women’s Singles | EUR 56.352 million (combined) | EUR 2,550,000 | 2,000 |
Roland Garros has paid equal singles prize money to men and women since 2007 — the same year the All England Club introduced equal prize money at Wimbledon. Both 2026 champions will earn EUR 2,550,000 plus 2,000 ranking points.
Singles Prize Money Breakdown (per tour)
| Round | Prize Money | Ranking Points |
| Winner | EUR 2,550,000 | 2,000 |
| Runner-up | EUR 1,275,000 | 1,300 |
| Semi-finalist | EUR 690,000 | 800 |
| Quarter-finalist | EUR 415,000 | 400 |
| Round of 16 | EUR 265,000 | 200 |
| Round of 32 | EUR 158,000 | 100 |
| Round of 64 | EUR 100,000 | 50 |
| Round of 128 (R1) | EUR 78,000 | 10 |
| Qualifying R3 (final round) | EUR 41,000 | 25 |
| Qualifying R2 | EUR 28,000 | 14 |
| Qualifying R1 | EUR 21,500 | 0 |
Even a first-round loss in the main draw earns a player more than EUR 78,000 — a meaningful sum for lower-ranked tour pros and a major reason the Grand Slams provide the financial backbone of the season. Reaching the second week (round of 16) means a six-figure payday before bonuses and rankings points.
Doubles Prize Money
| Round | Prize Money (per team) |
| Champions | EUR 650,000 |
| Runner-up | EUR 325,000 |
| Semi-finalist | EUR 175,000 |
| Quarter-finalist | EUR 95,000 |
| Round of 16 | EUR 53,000 |
| Round of 32 | EUR 30,500 |
| Round of 64 (R1) | EUR 18,500 |
Doubles prize money is paid per team, split between the two players. Mixed doubles, wheelchair tennis and junior events also pay prize money on a separate scale not detailed above.
How Roland Garros Compares to the Other Grand Slams
| Grand Slam | Singles Winner (2025/26) | Total Prize Pool |
| US Open | USD 5.0 million | USD 90 million+ |
| Wimbledon | GBP 3.0 million | GBP 53.5 million |
| Australian Open | AUD 3.5 million | AUD 88 million |
| French Open | EUR 2.55 million | EUR 56.4 million |
The US Open remains the most lucrative Grand Slam for singles winners, with Roland Garros traditionally paying the smallest top prize of the four majors when measured in dollars. However, Roland Garros has consistently invested in deeper-round payouts, with first-round and qualifying prize money among the most generous in tennis.
Year-on-Year Prize Money Growth
| Year | Singles Winner | Total Prize Pool | YoY Change |
| 2026 | EUR 2,550,000 | EUR 56.4M | +5% |
| 2025 | EUR 2,400,000 | EUR 53.5M | +5% |

| 2022 | EUR 2,200,000 | EUR 43.6M | +5% |
Roland Garros prize money has grown consistently year-on-year, driven by broadcast revenue growth and tournament organisers’ commitment to lifting first-round and qualifying payouts. The 2026 edition is the eleventh consecutive year the total purse has exceeded the previous edition.
Key Takeaways
