Paris Masters 2026: Dates, Venue, Tickets, TV and Who Is Playing

From Saturday October 31 to Sunday November 8, 2026. Qualifying is played on October 31 and November 1, the main draw starts on Monday November 2 and the singles final is scheduled for Sunday November 8 from 15:00 Paris time (14:00 in London, 09:00 in New York). Some calendars list only November 2-8: that is the main-draw window, not a different date. Sources: Rolex Paris Masters, FFT, ATP Tour.

At the Plenitude Arena, 99 Jardin de l'Arche, 92000 Nanterre, just west of Paris next to the La Défense business district. It is the same building as the Paris La Défense Arena: the venue took the name of energy company Plenitude (Eni group) on July 1, 2026 under a naming deal of at least seven years. The tournament left the Accor Arena in Bercy after 2024 and 2026 is its second edition in Nanterre. The Centre Court seats up to 16,500. Surface: indoor hard court.

Jannik Sinner, who beat Félix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6(4) in the 2025 final, the first edition held at La Défense. He will not defend his title: the Italian announced on October 6 that his 2026 season is over because of a right knee problem, ruling him out of Paris and the ATP Finals. He has not played since winning Wimbledon in July. More on him: [Jannik Sinner](/en/people/jannik-sinner/). Sources: AP, Rolex Paris Masters.

The entry list published on October 8 is led by Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur, followed by Frances Tiafoe, Arthur Fils, Taylor Fritz, Rafael Jódar and Shanghai champion Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Holger Rune, champion in 2022, enters on a protected ranking. Late withdrawals are always possible before the draw. Sources: Rolex Paris Masters, FFT.

Not yet as of October 19. The singles draw has 56 players, so the top 8 seeds get a first-round bye. On current rankings, projected seeds are Zverev (1), Alcaraz (2), Shelton (3), Medvedev (4), Cobolli (5), Auger-Aliassime (6), De Minaur (7) and Tiafoe (8), with Fils, Jódar and Djokovic just behind, but the final seeding depends on the rankings the week of the event. The draw will be published on the official site, rolexparismasters.com. Sources: ATP Tour, Rolex Paris Masters.

He is on the entry list and should be the No. 2 seed. Paris has never been his best event: his best result is a quarter-final in 2022, when he retired injured against Holger Rune; he lost to Roman Safiullin in 2023, to Ugo Humbert in 2024 and to Cameron Norrie in 2025. He is already qualified for Turin. More on him: [Carlos Alcaraz](/en/people/carlos-alcaraz/). Sources: ATP Tour, Al Jazeera, Rolex Paris Masters.

It is the last Masters 1000 before the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin (November 15-22). After Shanghai, Zverev, Alcaraz and Shelton are qualified. Because Sinner will not play, ninth place in the Race now gives the last spot. On October 18, Cobolli (3,540 points), Medvedev (3,420), Tiafoe (3,380), Fils (3,325) and Jódar (3,159, ninth) held the remaining spots, ahead of De Minaur (2,880) and Djokovic (2,840). A Paris title is worth 1,000 points. Sources: Tennis365, ATP Tour.

Three Frenchmen made the main draw directly: Arthur Fils, the French No. 1, now in the Top 10 and the 2026 Cincinnati champion; Ugo Humbert, the 2024 finalist; and Arthur Rinderknech, whose participation is uncertain after a muscle tear in Beijing. Luca Van Assche, Quentin Halys and Arthur Gea were on the alternates list. More French players can join through wild cards and qualifying. Sources: FFT, Rolex Paris Masters, TennisActu.

Not officially as of October 19. The French Federation (FFT) usually announces them about ten days before the event (the 2025 list came out on October 21, 2025). Gaël Monfils had been reported as a wild-card recipient for a farewell in Paris, but the International Tennis Integrity Agency now lists him as retired since October 5, which makes him ineligible.
