The Jockey Club Brasileiro in Gavea

13 to 21 February 2027 · Rio de Janeiro

Rio Open

The biggest tennis tournament in South America, the week after Carnival.

The read

The year the tournament doubled in size.

The Rio Open is the only ATP 500 in South America, played on clay. 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

From the first round to the final.

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.

Centre court

Nine thousand five hundred seats after the expansion. This is where the seeds come in from the last sixteen, and where both finals are played, on Saturday and Sunday.

Hospitality

For those who prefer to watch with service and cover, the tournament's hospitality is offered through Rio Open's official channels. We point you there and build the trip around the days you choose.

Court 1

Two thousand five hundred seats, more than double the previous edition. This is where you see the early rounds up close, which is when tennis is best to watch.

Praça Rio Open

In front of centre court, with a big screen for the matches, and the Leblon Boulevard beside it, where you eat and run into people. It grows in 2027, along with the covered areas, which triple.

The days that matter

Monday to Thursday, two sessions a day, still on general sale. Friday the 19th, Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st hold the final rounds and tend to be the first to sell out in the official sale.

by date

The tournament

Who is already confirmed.

The draw only closes between December and January, but three names are announced and they set the level of this edition.

The clay at the Jockey is the biggest tennis stage in South America. Players who do well here tend to go deep at Roland-Garros.

João Fonseca

The Rio local plays the Rio Open for the fifth year running. This is where he made his ATP tour debut, in 2023.

Flavio Cobolli

Seventh in the world. The Italian makes his ATP 500 debut in Rio.

Casper Ruud

Seventeenth, Norwegian, a clay specialist and a familiar face to the Gavea crowd.

About the sale

General sale open since 13 October, through Eventim only, limited to four tickets per session per buyer. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sold out on the first day.

You buy the ticket yourself, in your own name, and we take care of the rest of the trip. WAYFARER Agency is not an organiser, sponsor or official reseller of Rio Open.

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

What we arrange

From the flight to the court, in one conversation.

A hotel in Ipanema or Leblon

Ten minutes from the Jockey and a walk from the sand. We book facing the sea or facing inland, depending on what matters to you.

Hotel

Ticket

We guide you through the official sale, made by you and in your name, and arrange the hotel, transfers and tables around the sessions you choose. It rains in Rio in February, and the tournament's covered areas triple in 2027.

Access

Flights and transfers

The shuttle from São Paulo or a flight from wherever you are. A car between the hotel and Gavea on match days, both ways. In 2027 the entrance moves to Rua Jardim Botânico.

Flight

Both weeks

Carnival ends on Wednesday the 10th of February. The tournament starts on Saturday the 13th. If you want to join them up, we build the whole month in Rio.

Itinerary

A table after the match

A reservation where there is no reservation, in Leblon and Ipanema, on the nights the match finishes late.

Frequently asked questions

Before you enquire.

Is access secured?

It depends on the date and on what you want. In the proposal we confirm in writing only what is already secured. When something still rests with third parties, we say so plainly rather than promise it.

What does it cost?

There is no price list, because each trip is built once. The figure depends on the access category, the stay and the number of guests. The proposal itemises everything, with no obligation.

Can I bring a group?

Yes. Groups change the logistics and sometimes open doors that do not exist for two people: a whole house, a private table, a boat. Tell us the number when you write.

What if the date changes?

Event calendars change, and that is not ours to control. When they do, we rebuild whatever can be rebuilt and tell you at once what is refundable and what is not, according to each supplier’s rules.
