U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship 2026 preview and where to watch

The U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship returns to Houston, United States for its 2026 edition, played from 30 Mar – 5 Apr on Clay.

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 2026 edition of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship has wrapped. The recap, full results and dates for the 2027 edition are below.

The conditions

Clay is the slowest surface on tour — the ball sits up, points get longer, and the bigger your topspin, the more you control the rally. At Houston, expect heavy court coverage to count more than raw power.

Topspin baseliners and movers tend to dominate clay events of this size. 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.
