Where is the French Open Played?

The French Open is played at the iconic Stade Roland Garros with the action taking place at Court Simonne-Mathieu, Court Suzanne-Lenglen and center stage at Court Philippe-Chatrier.

One of the most unique Grand Slams of the tennis calendar, the French Open is played on red clay courts, which adds an extra challenge to the event. Points are longer, footwork matters more and mental endurance is tested over best-of-five sets in conditions that can shift from blazing sun to wind-whipped chaos within a single afternoon.

2026 French Open Schedule & TV Coverage

Below is the complete French Open provisional schedule and TV coverage, split into qualifying and main draw. All times are ET. Because Roland Garros is in Paris (6 hours ahead), matches begin in the early morning for US viewers — TNT and truTV coverage starts at 5 a.m. ET, and HBO Max streams every match live from the opening day of qualifying.

Order of play is subject to change.

Qualifying Rounds

Qualifying matches are not broadcast on TNT or truTV. All qualifying matches are available to stream live on Max from 4 a.m. ET.

All times are approximate. Tennis Channel also airs nightly recaps, analysis and interviews from 8–11 p.m. ET each day via TC Live at Roland-Garros.

2026 French Open Men’s Top Seeds

With defending champion Carlos Alcaraz sidelined due to a wrist injury, the men’s draw is wide open for a new champion. Here are the players to watch.

Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner is chasing his first French Open title, and, with it, a career Grand Slam. He reached the 2025 French Open final before falling to Alcaraz in a career-best finish, then lost in the semifinals at this year’s Australian Open, snapping a streak of five consecutive Grand Slam final appearances. With the defending champion absent, Sinner enters as the clear favorite.

Alexander Zverev

Zverev is chasing his first-ever Grand Slam tournament win at his best tournament. Since 2021, he’s reached the semifinals three times, the quarterfinals once and the finals once, posting his best record as a pro at Roland Garros. Without defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the draw, Zverev enters as a genuine title contender.

Novak Djokovic

A three-time French Open champion and four-time runner-up, Djokovic remains one of the most dangerous players on clay at any age. He reached at least the semifinals of every Grand Slam in 2025 and reached the Australian Open final earlier this year. He is aiming for his first Roland Garros title since 2023.

Arthur Fils

The French home favorite has missed three straight Grand Slam tournaments after exiting in the third round of last year’s French Open. He may return with fresh legs after the extended break, but shaking off clay-court rust at a tournament this demanding is never straightforward.

Lorenzo Musetti

Musetti reached the semifinals at last year’s French Open and followed that up with quarterfinal finishes at the US Open and this year’s Australian Open — a clear pattern of improvement at the highest level. Roland Garros remains his best major surface, and with Alcaraz out, his odds of a deep run only improve.

2026 French Open Women’s Top Seeds

Here are the women’s top seeds to watch at this year’s French Open:

Coco Gauff

Gauff is the defending women’s champion, having claimed her first Roland Garros title in 2025 in dramatic conditions. Her clay-court record tells the full story: two quarterfinal appearances, a semifinal, a runner-up finish and now a championship across five consecutive French Opens. Paris brings out the best in her, and she’ll be the player everyone else is targeting.

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka is chasing the one Grand Slam title that has eluded her. She fell to Gauff in last year’s French Open final, then closed out 2025 with a second consecutive US Open title and reached the Australian Open final earlier this year. She arrives in Paris in peak form, with an unfinished score to settle on clay.

Iga Swiatek

Swiatek is the active leader in women’s singles championships at the French Open, having won four in her career, including three straight from 2022 to 2024. It’s by far her best tournament. She finished as a semifinalist last year after two straight quarterfinal finishes at the US Open and this year’s Australian Open. She’ll be looking to get back into the championship match.

Mirra Andreeva

In just her third season as a pro, Andreeva dazzled in last year’s French Open, reaching the quarterfinals after a semifinal finish in 2024. Roland Garros has proved to be the Russian phenom’s best court thus far, and she will be looking for her first Grand Slam finals appearance.

Elena Rybakina

After Rybakina won her second career Grand Slam championship at this year’s Australian Open, she is looking to carry that momentum into Roland Garros, where she has never advanced past the quarterfinals. A deep run and even a championship would vault her to the top of the world rankings.
