WTA Finals 2026, where to watch and live stream

The WTA Finals runs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 1-8 Nov, 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 one of the season-ending Tour Finals, contested by the top eight on the year-end Race. The singles champion takes 1,500 ranking points, plus an undefeated bonus available only at the Finals.

First held in 1972, played at King Saud University Indoor Arena, Riyadh. The WTA Finals is on court now. The order of play and the live scores update throughout each session.

The WTA Finals format mirrors the men’s, with eight singles players in a two-group round-robin and the doubles teams running alongside on the same surface. The 2026 host city sets the surface and conditions: outdoor medium hard in warm weather, indoor medium-fast in cooler venues. Either way, every match counts toward semi-final qualification, and a player can drop a group match and still win the title.

Best-of-three throughout and the eight-strong field mean the level of tennis is consistently the highest of the women’s year. Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek have all taken recent titles, and the doubles event runs at near-grand-slam quality given how much of the tour’s elite enters here. Round-robin scheduling rewards the player who arrives with form rather than the one who needs a tournament to find rhythm.
