After four Grand Slam titles and months of competition, it all comes down to this. The 2026 tennis season will culminate in the WTA Finals and ATP Finals to decide the best pro tennis players of the year. The top eight singles players and doubles teams from the WTA Tour and ATP Tour will come together in November and compete in a round-robin tournament before moving on to the semifinals and finals.
Which of the sport's best players will prevail? Here's how to watch the action live.
While the WTA Finals and ATP Finals take place back-to-back, they are technically separate events held in different locations. The women's finals, the WTA Finals, will be held first, set from November 8 to November 15. The 2026 WTA Finals will take place at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California. It was initially intended to be played in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia, but the venue was changed due to the ongoing war in Iran.
The men's finals, the ATP Finals, take place from November 15 to November 22. The 2026 ATP Finals will be played at Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.
For these events, singles players and doubles players will be placed into two groups of four. Everyone then plays three round-robin matches, and the top performers advance to the knock-out semifinals and finals.
While this season's Grand Slam tournaments, including Wimbledon and the US Open, were easy to watch on ESPN, those wishing to tune in for the WTA and ATP Finals won't be so lucky. Instead, Sinclair's Tennis Channel owns the rights to these end-of-season events, so you'll need to subscribe to the standalone streaming service, pay for a cable package that includes the channel, or have access to a live TV streaming service that carries it—and this can get expensive.
Not looking to pay for yet another subscription? Your options for watching the WTA and ATP Finals for free are limited since the Tennis Channel doesn't offer a free trial. Instead, you're better off signing up for a trial of a live TV service. These trials typically only last a few days, so make sure to time your sign-up correctly so you can watch the matches you want for no extra cost.
The WTA Finals will feature the season's top eight singles players and doubles teams. Inclusion is determined by a points system in which finishes are scored and weighted by prestige, so a Grand Slam semifinal finish may be worth more points than a win at a lesser tournament.
This year's top-ranked player is Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, winner of the Australian Open and US Open. At no. 2, Aryna Sabalenka was the runner-up in these two competitions. Mirra Andreeva (3) won the French Open, and Linda Noskova (8) won at Wimbledon. Americans Jessica Pegula (5) and Coco Gauff (4) have also reached the finals. Here's the full list of ranked competitors, according to the WTA:
Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani enter the finals as the top-ranked team, having won six competitions this year. At no. 2, the team of Kateřina Siniaková and Taylor Townsend have two Grand Slam victories this season. Other Grand Slam winners include Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic (3) and Elise Mertens and Zhang Shuai (7). Here's the full list of ranked teams:
