13 to 21 February 2027 · Rio de Janeiro
The biggest tennis tournament in South America, the week after Carnival.
The read
The Rio Open is the only ATP 500 in South America and the only clay court event on the main calendar across the continent. It is played at the Jockey Club Brasileiro in Gavea, with Corcovado on one side and the lagoon on the other, on one of the few courts in the world where the view competes with the match.
In 2027 the tournament moves within the Jockey itself, to the Pião do Prado, and grows from 40,000 to 67,000 square metres. Centre court goes to 9,500 seats, 54 per cent more. Court 1 more than doubles, to 2,500. Covered areas triple. In practice it is a different tournament, and anyone buying now is buying a venue nobody has tested yet.
How to watch
The tournament runs nine days. What changes between one ticket and another is not only the seat, it is the day and the hour the match is played.

The draw can change until it is made. A player withdrawing gives no right to a refund, which is the tour rule.
