The Sofia Open has been held since 2016. It is played on hardcourts and normally takes place early in the year. Not this year..

It should have been organised in 2023 but was not due to a conflict with the ATP and the BTF. Indeed, the ATP had scheduled the Sofia tournament in the week of 30 January to 5 February 2023, at the same time as the qualifying round of the Davis Cup. However, the Bulgarian Davis Cup team was scheduled to play against New Zealand in the same week. The organisers therefore did not agree to the scheduled date. The organisers of the tournament and the ATP were unable to reach a solution. The licensee 'Brand Plus Inc' decided to move the tournament to Adelaide, Australia.
As a result of the the war in Israel and Palestine from October 2023 onwards, the ATP decided to give the endangered Tel Aviv event to the Bulgarian tennis federation.
