Ranked as an ATP Masters 1000 event, it brings together the best players on the planet every spring on the clay courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club, set against a spectacular backdrop between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Provence.
Now in its 119th edition, the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters remains the first major European clay-court appointment of the season. This is often where the Roland-Garros favourites begin to emerge, making it a must-watch event for tennis fans worldwide.
The tournament features 56 players in singles and 28 teams in doubles. Over the decades, the greatest names in tennis have left their mark here: Rafael Nadal holds the record with 11 titles, a tally that speaks to the prestige of the competition.
When does the Monte-Carlo Masters 2026 take place?
The 2026 edition of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters runs from Saturday 4 to Sunday 12 April 2026. Nine days of competition, from qualifying to the final, will set the pace of the Monegasque spring.
This window marks the very start of the European clay-court season. Temperatures in Monaco hover between 14 and 18 °C in April, with plenty of sunshine - ideal conditions for enjoying an outdoor tournament.
Day-by-day schedule
Here is the full match schedule for the Monte-Carlo Masters 2026:
Qualifying kicks off on Saturday 4 April, before the seeded players enter the draw on Monday 6 April. The Friday quarter-finals and Saturday semi-finals often produce the most thrilling encounters of the tournament.
💡 Concierge tip
"The Friday quarter-finals offer the best value-for-excitement ratio of the tournament: the level of play is outstanding and the atmosphere steps up a gear, while seats are still available. Our guests often book a pass for Friday and Saturday, allowing them to catch the most intense stages of the event."
Where is the tournament held?
The Monte-Carlo Country Club
The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters is played at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, a venue founded in 1928, perched on the heights of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, right on the border of the Principality of Monaco. Its centre court commands a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean - a setting unlike any other on the ATP Tour.
The club features several clay courts, including Court Rainier III (centre court) and the Court des Princes. For the 2026 edition, Court No. 2 will be renamed in honour of Elizabeth-Ann de Massy, a key figure in Monegasque tennis.
How to reach the Country Club from Monaco
From Monaco, several options are available to get to the Monte-Carlo Country Club:
- By train: during the tournament, special trains stop at the "Monte-Carlo Country Club" station, between Monaco and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The stop is 500 metres from entrance No. 4 of the club. This is the most convenient option.
- By bus: lines 1, 4 and 6 of Monaco's public buses serve the area. With a valid train ticket, these buses are free.
- By taxi or private car: allow around 10 to 15 minutes from central Monaco, depending on traffic.
