World-class women’s tennis returns to Abu Dhabi with the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open 2026

Game, set, match. The Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open is back from January 31 to February 7, 2026, bringing world-class women’s tennis to the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City. Expect eight days of fierce competition as 28 singles players and 16 doubles teams take to the court.

Now in its fourth year, the tournament has become a highlight on the Women’s Tennis Association calendar. Last year’s event featured eight of the world’s top 20 players and saw Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic reclaim her crown, while Jelena Ostapenko and Ellen Perez lifted the doubles trophy.

Buy your tickets before the end of November and you’ll be entered into a draw to win a trip for two to the Mubadala DC Open 2026, including flights, accommodation, and VIP access.
