European Open 2026 preview and where to watch
The European Open returns to Brussels, Belgium for its 2026 edition, played from 19–25 Oct on Hard (i).
What's at stake
At 250 ranking points to the winner, this sits at the foundation of the tour calendar. It’s where lower-ranked players earn ATP/WTA points to climb, and where top players occasionally drop in to fine-tune ahead of bigger events.
The European Open starts in 173 days. The draw lands a few days before the first ball is struck — we'll publish the bracket here as soon as it's set.
The conditions
Indoor conditions remove wind, sun and weather variance entirely. The ball is faster, the bounce is more predictable, and rallies favour clean ball-striking from the baseline.
Flat hitters and clean returners tend to thrive indoors. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm — watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
