Roland Garros 2026 preview and where to watch

The Roland Garros returns to Paris, France for its 2026 edition, played from 24 May – 7 Jun on Clay.

What's at stake

As one of the four Grand Slams, this is the highest-paying tournament of the season and the largest ranking-points haul on tour: 2,000 points to the singles winners. The two-week, best-of-five (men) format means depth and durability matter as much as form.

The Roland Garros starts in 21 days. The draw lands a few days before the first ball is struck, we'll publish the bracket here as soon as it's set.

The conditions

Clay is the slowest surface on tour, the ball sits up, points get longer, and the bigger your topspin, the more you control the rally. At Paris, expect heavy court coverage to count more than raw power.

Topspin baseliners and movers tend to dominate clay events of this size. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm, watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
