What time does Shanghai Masters and Wuhan Open begin and how can you watch in the UK, USA and Australia
ATP
The US Open is done, but there is still plenty of tennis to watch after the latest Grand Slam has finished.
The Shanghai Masters and Wuhan Open are both taking place from 7-18 October and 12-18 October with players using the tournaments to gain form after the US Open.
For tennis fans in the UK, United States and Australia, both tournaments are available live, with coverage spread across Sky Sports, Tennis Channel and beIN Sports.
In the UK, Sky Sports is the broadcaster and it will be shown on Sky Sports Tennis, Sky Sports + and with occasional Sky Sports Main Event coverage. With it being in the US, it is very much likely that it will be more late-night and early-morning nature of some matches. It will also feature more matches that are likely to appeal more to British fans e.g if Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal, Emma Raducanu are involved they are more likely to be focused upon.
Quick answer:
Shanghai Masters and Wuhan Open: Sky Sports in the UK, Tennis Channel in the US and beIN Sports in Australia.
Dates: 7-18 October 2026

- A healthy Qinwen may be hard to stop next season. She was already scaring her opponents before her medical leave(s). Unfortunately, Zheng insisted on singing again. On the positive side -- Mirra did not sing!! ;~}
mandoist11-10-2026 - Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media? Public & private figures consistently complain and reveal their concerns about negativity and violence thrown at them -- yet they insist on participating. Avoid it, don't use it, don't read it. It's okay to occasionally look up at the World instead beating your eyes & thumbs to death on The Inventions out there.mandoist11-10-2026

- Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026
