Miami Open 2026, where to watch and live stream

The Miami Open runs in Miami, United States from 18-29 Mar, played on medium-paced hard court. Bounces and pace sit between clay and grass, which rewards all-court players who can defend, attack and serve in roughly equal measure. It is a Masters 1000 / WTA 1000, the tier directly below the Slams and mandatory for the world top thirty outside of injury. The singles champion takes 1,000 ranking points, plus a prize pool that sits second only to the Slams.

First held in 1985, played at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens. The 2026 edition has wrapped. The full results sit below; the recap and the 2027 dates are above.

The Hard Rock Stadium courts in Miami Gardens replaced the old Crandon Park site in 2019 and play noticeably faster than their predecessor. The Laykold surface is similar to Indian Wells but the South Florida humidity, regularly above 80 per cent through the afternoon, adds drag to the ball and softens the bounce. Sub-tropical thunderstorms are an almost daily feature in late March and disrupt scheduling more than at any other US tournament. The show court, set down inside an NFL stadium with seating for roughly 14,000, has notably higher ceilings than most outdoor venues, which changes the lob and the high topspin reply in ways that show up on the highlight reels.

The combined ATP and WTA 1000 immediately after Indian Wells produces the unique two-week sequence the tour calls the Sunshine Double. Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner have each been close to that double in the last three years, but only one player at a time tends to come through both. Best-of-three throughout, mid-eighties humidity, and a partisan Latin-American crowd in the night sessions make Miami a tougher trip than Indian Wells, even though the surface is faster and the rallies shorter.
