Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell 2026, where to watch and live stream

The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell runs in Barcelona, Spain from 13-19 Apr, played on slow red clay. Bounces sit higher than on any other tour surface and rallies run longer, which suits heavy topspin and punishes flat hitters. It is an ATP 500 / WTA 500, a second-tier event that helps shape the seedings around the next Slam. The singles champion takes 500 ranking points, and a serious slice of the season prize pool.

The 2026 edition has wrapped. The full results sit below; the recap and the 2027 dates are above.

The Real Club de Tennis Barcelona-1899 in the Pedralbes district is one of the prettiest stops on tour: low-rise stands ringed by palms and umbrella pines, the Mediterranean fifteen minutes away, and a clean spring breeze rolling in off the sea most afternoons. Court speed is closer to Monte Carlo than to Madrid, which means the lower seeds who turn up here directly from Monaco usually arrive with a settled rhythm and the rallies extend accordingly. Coastal humidity adds weight to the ball through the back end of the day, so the early rounds can play noticeably faster at noon than the second-week night sessions on the same court.

The 500-level format and its position the week after Monte Carlo and before Madrid make Barcelona the spiritual home of the second-tier clay specialist: the player who is not quite top-ten but who lives well on the dirt for two months a year. Rafael Nadal won twelve titles here. Carlos Alcaraz has taken three of the last five, including the 2025 edition over Holger Rune in straight sets, and the trophy presentation in front of the small fountain on Pista Rafa Nadal is usually the most domestic moment of the swing.
