Singapore Tennis Open 2026

The Singapore Tennis Open 2026, presented by BNP Paribas, is scheduled at the OCBC Arena within The Kallang from 21 to 27 September 2026. The tournament is part of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour and is listed as a WTA 500 event on indoor hard courts (WTA, Singapore Tennis Open 2026, accessed 4 September 2026). It is a forthcoming event as of 4 September 2026, so the final draw, order of play and player participation remain subject to the tournament's later official updates.

Tournament status and format

The 2026 edition is an elevation from the Singapore Tennis Open's 2025 WTA 250 level. The WTA listing describes a 28-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw, played on indoor hard courts, with the tournament positioned within the WTA's Asian Swing (WTA, Singapore Tennis Open 2026, accessed 4 September 2026). “WTA 500” describes the tournament tier and ranking-point category; it should not be read as a claim that Singapore has a permanent national ranking or that every listed player will ultimately compete.

The upgrade is part of a longer hosting arrangement. The Kallang announced in October 2025 that the Singapore Tennis Open would be held at the Singapore Sports Hub from 2026 to 2030, with the 2026 edition becoming Singapore's first WTA 500 event and the only WTA 500 tournament in Southeast Asia for that season (The Kallang, 10 October 2025). That announcement describes a hosting and event-programming commitment, not a guarantee of identical player fields or event details in every year.

Venue and related tennis activities

The main tournament is at the OCBC Arena, while the Singapore Tennis Invitational Cup is scheduled as a related regional competition at the Kallang Tennis Hub. The Kallang describes the wider programme as including fan activations and fringe activities across the precinct, connecting elite competition with participation and tennis-development activities (The Kallang, 10 October 2025). The venue distinction matters: an OCBC Arena ticket for the WTA event is not automatically admission to the invitational cup, community sessions or every activity elsewhere in The Kallang.

Tickets and event information

The WTA tournament page provides the official event listing and ticket link, while The Kallang's June 2026 announcement describes an early-bird promotion and confirms the 21–27 September dates (WTA, Singapore Tennis Open 2026, accessed 4 September 2026; The Kallang, 30 June 2026). Ticket prices, session schedules, player lists and access arrangements can change before play begins; visitors should use the official event and venue pages rather than relying on social-media resale listings or a preliminary player list.
