The Rio Open returns to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for its 2026 edition, played from 16–22 Feb on Clay.

What's at stake

As a 500-level event, the winner takes home 500 ranking points. These tournaments fill the gaps between the Masters/Slams and are where players rebuild form, defend points, or run up an early-season title streak.

The 2026 edition of the Rio Open 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 Rio de Janeiro, 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.
