The Cincinnati Open, one of the biggest stops on the professional tennis calendar, has announced when fans can buy tickets for the 2026 tournament, with multi-day packages going on sale Jan. 29 and single-session tickets available beginning March 12.
Organizers said fans should move quickly; ticket packages sold out in just three days last year. The event continues to draw a global audience, with a record 285,571 fans attending in 2025 from all 50 states and 65 countries.
The tournament, which runs Aug. 11-23 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, is offering a range of ticket packages that cover everything from opening rounds to championship weekend.
How it works
Fans who want access to multiple days and courts can purchase packages starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 29. Single-session tickets, which allow fans to attend individual day or night sessions, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 12.
But, those who register in advance through the tournament’s website can get a 24-hour head start. The package pre-sale begins Wednesday, Jan. 28, and the single-session pre-sale opens Wednesday, March 11. Registration for early access is still open at cincinnatiopen.com.
Several package options are available, including multi-day bundles such as Early Action (Aug. 11-14), Opening Weekend (Aug. 15-16), Middle Rounds (Aug. 17-18), Late Action (Aug. 19-20 or Aug. 19-21, depending on court) and Finals Weekend (Aug. 21-23). Series packages range from the Full Series, which covers the entire tournament, to First Week and Second Week options on Center Court and the Grandstand.
The 2026 Cincinnati Open will also feature a revamped schedule. For the first time, both the men’s and women’s singles championship matches will be played on the same day, Sunday, Aug. 23.
The Cincinnati Open, founded in 1899, returned to its original name in 2024 after more than two decades as the Western & Southern Open. The tournament is an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event, placing it just below the four Grand Slams in prestige and importance. In 2025, it was named 1000 Tournament of the Year by both the ATP and the WTA.
The event is backed by a major investment in the Lindner Family Tennis Center, including a $260 million upgrade plan announced last year that will expand the player field, improve fan amenities and modernize the main stadium. Tournament ownership has also committed to keeping the event in Mason for at least the next 25 years.
Tickets for all sessions and packages will be sold through the tournament’s website. More information about pricing, seating and pre-sale registration is available at cincinnatiopen.com.
