The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is one of the most prestigious events on both the WTA and ATP tour calendars — and one of the best sporting events you can attend in Dubai. In 2026, the tournament returns for its 34th men’s edition and 26th women’s edition, with the WTA 1000 (women) running 15–21 February and the ATP 500 (men) following 23–28 February.

The outdoor hard court event consistently attracts world top-10 players and has seen champions including Roger Federer (with multiple titles), Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Serena Williams, and a host of recent Grand Slam champions. The Dubai crowd is knowledgeable, passionate, and provides a superb atmosphere for tennis at the highest level.

What to Expect at the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championships

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium seats approximately 5,000 spectators in a compact, intimate setting that makes every seat feel close to the action. Unlike the vast distances at Grand Slams, even the upper-tier seats at Dubai give you a genuinely great view. The centre court atmosphere on finals weekend is electric.

For the 2026 edition, expect to see the current women’s world number ones competing in the WTA 1000 draw, followed by the men’s ATP 500 field featuring top-ranked tour regulars. Both singles and doubles competitions run across both weeks.
