Rolex Paris Masters

Updated 2026-11-05

Paris is the indoor Masters 1000. The 2026 edition runs 31 Oct–8 Nov at Paris La Défense Arena. On 5 Nov the final had not been played, so this page names no 2026 champion.

The event began in 1969, growing out of the French Covered Court Championships. It used Stade Pierre de Coubertin from 1969 to 1982, then the Accor Arena at Bercy from 1986 to 2024. La Défense Arena in Nanterre took over in 2025. That move is the reason older “Bercy” guides feel one year out of date.

The surface history is not one word. Carpet covered 1969–70 and 1986–2006. Hard indoor covered 1972–82. Indoor hard has been the court since 2007. People still ask what colour the 2026 court is. I could not find a source that documents a special 2026 colour, so I describe it only as the current dark indoor hard court and point at the official site for photos.

The draw is smaller than the American hard-court Masters: 56 singles, 28 qualifying, 24 doubles teams. The 2026 prize money is €6,309,095. Djokovic has seven titles between 2009 and 2023 on the records I used. The 2025 champion was Sinner. Wild cards for 2026 were announced before the event; I do not promise the day they drop in a future year.

Sponsor names changed once in the modern era: BNP Paribas Masters from 2003 to 2016, Rolex Paris Masters from 2017. Speed claims are older colour. A history page says the court used to be among the fastest and has been slower since 2011. I will not call the 2026 court “the fastest”.

If you want a stream, use the official broadcaster list. I do not embed a pirate feed. The French game page on this site is about the arcade title, and it links back here for the tournament.
