Roland-Garros is back on May 18 for three weeks, running through June 7, 2026, a must-see event for tennis fans! It’s your chance to catch the world’s best athletes in Paris and on your screens, at the Porte d'Auteuil, on the most famous clay courts in the 16th arrondissement. Organized by the French Tennis Federation, Roland-Garros is one of the four Grand Slams, the second of the year after the Australian Open.
Players in the running this year, late-night sessions, innovations, the 2026 edition of the clay-court tournament that remains the event to watch continues to look as exceptional as ever! This year again, Roland-Garros offers "night session", every evening at 9 p.m., to give spectators an even more immersive experience.
Still chaired by Amélie Mauresmo, who became the tournament director in December 2021, the event now uses a public lottery system for ticketing, which can make securing seats a challenge—except during Opening Week. But the good news is you can still catch all the action on television!
Find out all the latest information about the famous Parisian tournament, so you can stay up to date and make sure you don't miss a thing!
