Chengdu Open 2026 preview and where to watch
The Chengdu Open returns to Chengdu, China for its 2026 edition, played from 23–29 Sep on Hard.
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 Chengdu Open starts in 147 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
Hard court is the global default — medium-paced, true-bouncing, and tactically neutral. Form, fitness and serve quality usually decide who goes deep here, more than surface preference.
Hard-court specialists and the very top seeds tend to dominate events of this kind. 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.
