How to watch Sinner-Medvedev Indian Wells Final 2026 live on TV or stream in the UK, USA or Australia
Tennis News
The 2026 edition of the BNP Paribas Open will take place from 4–17 March 2026 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, launching the Sunshine Double and marking the first combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event of the North American swing.
Both singles draws feature 96 players, with the top 32 seeds receiving first-round byes. The tournament awards 1000 ranking points to each champion and plays a major role in shaping the early-season Race standings before the tour moves to Miami.
On the ATP side, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz headlines the field after capturing the 2026 Australian Open earlier this season. Jack Draper returns as defending Indian Wells champion following his breakthrough title run in 2025. Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner are also expected to feature prominently in one of the strongest Masters 1000 line-ups of the year.
In the WTA draw, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka leads the field, while Elena Rybakina arrives as the reigning Australian Open champion. Mirra Andreeva returns as defending Indian Wells champion after lifting the biggest title of her career here last season. Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff are also projected among the main contenders.
Indian Wells is known for its slower hard courts and high-bouncing conditions, often rewarding baseline consistency and physical endurance. The dry desert air and temperature shifts between day and night sessions frequently add a tactical layer across the two-week event.
