Erste Bank Open 2026 preview and where to watch

The Erste Bank Open returns to Vienna, Austria for its 2026 edition, played from 26 Oct – 1 Nov on Hard (i).

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 Erste Bank Open starts in 180 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.
