The 2026 Miami Open begins March 17 at the Hard Rock Stadium, marking the second stop of the “Sunshine Double†after Indian Wells. The tournament draws top ATP and WTA players, though six-time champion Novak Djokovic will be absent this year.
Directed by former American player James Blake, the Miami Open combines a world-class playing field with high media visibility. French fans can watch men’s matches on Eurosport and international coverage via Tennis TV. Women’s matches will be broadcast on beIN Sports and WTA TV internationally, typically starting at 4 PM CET during the first week.
The event features rising stars like Moïse Kouame, a 17-year-old French wild-card entrant, and top contenders Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Elena Rybakina. The prize purse is equal for men and women: winners take home $1,151,380 and 1,000 ranking points, with finalists receiving $612,340 and semifinalists $340,190.
A wide array of sponsors underlines the tournament’s commercial strength. Itaú Private Bank serves as title sponsor, while partners include the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Lacoste, Emirates, Cadillac, Stella Artois, and Pirelli. The robust sponsorship roster reinforces Miami Open’s status as a premier stop on the tennis calendar.
