Singapore Tennis Open 2026 returns to OCBC Arena from Monday, 21 September to Sunday, 27 September 2026, with the tournament stepping up to WTA 500 level after its 2025 comeback.
For Singapore fans, the upgrade matters. A WTA 500 week brings stronger ranking stakes, a higher-profile field and a proper tour-stop feel at Kallang, without needing to travel overseas for live women’s tennis.
What Is Confirmed
The tournament runs for seven days at OCBC Arena. It is part of the WTA 2026 Tour and is played on indoor hard courts, with a 28-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw.
The event is also positioned as Southeast Asia’s only WTA 500 tournament in 2026, so it should draw interest from fans who followed the 2025 Singapore Tennis Open and want a bigger version of the same week.
Tickets And Player Updates
Ticket sales and the final player line-up are not the same thing as the event dates. Fans who want first notice should register interest early, then wait for the official ticket release and player announcements before making firmer plans.
If you are buying for a group, agree on the session type before sales open. Early rounds usually offer more matches and more variety. Later rounds bring fewer matches but higher stakes. The best choice depends on whether your group wants a long tennis day, a social night out, or the highest-pressure matches.
How To Pick A Session
Casual fans may get better value from earlier sessions because there is more tennis to watch and more room for surprise names. Serious fans may prefer the quarter-finals onward, when the draw has narrowed and the matches usually feel sharper.
Families should think about match length. Tennis does not run on a fixed clock, and a long three-set match can stretch attention spans. If you are bringing children, choose a session that does not clash badly with dinner or bedtime, and check the venue rules before packing snacks or camera gear.
Getting To OCBC Arena
OCBC Arena sits inside The Kallang precinct, with Stadium MRT usually the cleanest public-transport option. Kallang, Mountbatten and Nicoll Highway can also work depending on your route, but they may involve a longer walk.
For evening sessions, plan the journey home before the match starts. Sports crowds often leave in waves, so ride-hail pick-up points and nearby food outlets can get busy after the final match.
