The ATP Tour 2026 is already well underway and promises to be another tennis year filled with rivalries, surprises and major moments on court. From the first tournaments of the season to the finals later in the year, the calendar is once again packed with important matches. Whether you are a dedicated tennis fan or mainly follow the biggest tournaments, this guide provides a clear overview of the ATP calendar, with special attention to the four prestigious Grand Slams.

We start with the crown jewels of the ATP calendar 2026: the Grand Slams. Below is an overview of each Grand Slam, including dates, location and surface type.

Australian Open

The Australian Open marks the start of the Grand Slam season every year. On the hard courts of Melbourne Park, players immediately get the chance to show how they have come through the winter. In recent editions, the rise of the new generation has been especially noticeable. Players such as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have shown that they now play a major role in the battle for the biggest titles.

Australian Open schedule: The first round begins in mid-January and the final is traditionally played in Rod Laver Arena.

Roland-Garros

After the hard-court season, the focus shifts to the clay courts of Roland-Garros. The tournament in Paris is known for long rallies and physically demanding matches, where patience and endurance often make the difference. In recent years we have seen how players who excel on clay dictate the pace of matches and regularly treat the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier to long, tactical duels.

Roland-Garros schedule: The tournament begins at the end of May and concludes in early June with the final in Paris.

Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the oldest tournament and, for many players, also the most prestigious event on the calendar. On the grass courts of the All England Club, everything revolves around timing, a strong serve and quick points. In recent years, the encounters between established stars and the new generation have been a key storyline, resulting in exciting matches on Centre Court. The traditions, the grass and the unique atmosphere make Wimbledon a special chapter of the tennis season every year.

US Open

The US Open closes the Grand Slam season in New York. In Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest tennis stadium in the world, the evening sessions in particular create a unique atmosphere. The tournament is known for surprises and spectacular matches, where young players regularly make a breakthrough. The fast hard courts and the energetic crowd make the US Open a fitting finale to the Grand Slam year.

Although the Grand Slams receive most of the attention, a large part of the tennis season takes place on the ATP Tour. The ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in particular are key moments on the calendar. In spring, Indian Wells and Miami attract a lot of attention, while Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome form important preparation tournaments for Roland-Garros.

Later in the season, the tour moves to North America and Asia with major tournaments such as Toronto, Cincinnati and Shanghai. The year ends with the ATP Finals in Turin, where the eight best players of the season compete for the final major title of the year.
