The WTA and ATP tours continue this week with a stop in Ohio for the 2026 Cincinnati Open, which is returning for its 127th annual competition.
The Lindner Family Tennis Center will welcome the world’s best professional tennis players once again for 1000-level tournaments on both the men’s and women’s side. The Cincinnati Open expanded its draw just last year, which means it now hosts 96 singles players and 32 doubles teams.
As the oldest U.S. tennis tournament still played in its original city, this competition is steeped in history. Ekaterina Alexandrova, Mirra Andreeva and Amanda Anisimova headline the women’s draw, while Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur top the men’s list.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 Cincinnati Open, including TV channel and streaming options for the ATP and WTA event.
