Dubai’s tennis season is about to hit full swing, and the 2026 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships are already shaping up to be a must-watch. 

From February 23 to 28, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium will host a world-class ATP 500 men’s line-up, led by defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, alongside Felix Auger-Aliassime and former tournament winners Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.

Tsitsipas returns to Dubai after lifting the trophy in 2025, where he defeated Auger-Aliassime in the final, and the Greek star will be looking to defend his title following a strong hard-court season. Auger-Aliassime arrives in Dubai after one of the most successful years of his career, having claimed three ATP titles in 2025 and reaching the semi-finals of the US Open, while his run to last year’s Dubai final has firmly established him as one of the players to watch.

Medvedev, the 2023 Dubai champion and 2021 US Open winner, is also back in the mix and remains one of the toughest competitors on hard courts, while Rublev, who won the title in 2022, returns after another consistent season on the ATP Tour, bringing his trademark intensity to the tournament. Adding even more depth to the men’s draw are Alexander Bublik, Jack Draper and Karen Khachanov, promising plenty of variety and high-quality match-ups throughout the week.

Before the men’s tournament begins, the spotlight will be on the women’s WTA 1000 event, running from February 15 to 21, featuring defending champion Mirra Andreeva along with Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiątek and Coco Gauff.

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships 2026 will run back-to-back, with the women’s event followed by the men’s tournament, and with tickets now on sale, fans can look forward to two weeks of non-stop world-class tennis in the heart of Dubai.
