When are the 2027 Dubai Tennis Championships?
The official site shows the 2027 Championships on 14 to 27 February at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. A third-party listing gives 14 to 20 February for the women’s WTA week. We did not find an official ATP 2027 date, so check the schedule page on the tournament site before you commit to a men’s day.
WTA week and ATP week: how the fortnight works
The tournament runs as two events on one court. The women’s week comes first, then the men’s week. Early rounds fill the daytime sessions, and the evening sessions carry the bigger names.
If you want both weeks, book accommodation for the full period and choose your days once the order of play is published.
Where is the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium?
The stadium is in Garhoud, Dubai, in the grounds of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Centre. The centre court seats about 5,000.
Garhoud is the district beside Dubai International Airport, so the drive from DXB is short. Our Terminal 1 arrivals guide shows where your driver meets you after landing.
Tickets and session times
Tickets and the order of play are sold and published on the organiser’s site. We do not list prices or times here because they change each year. Check the tournament site for how sessions are sold and when the daily schedule is released.
Where to stay near Al Garhoud
- Garhoud and Deira: shortest trip to the stadium and the airport.
- Downtown Dubai: a Red Line ride, then a short walk or shuttle.
- Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah: a longer drive, so book a car for the evening.
Getting there in one paragraph
By Metro, the organisers say the stadium is a five-minute walk from GGICO station, or you can ride to Al Garhoud and take the free shuttle. Ticket holders also get the complimentary Park N’ Ride. By car, Assure collects you from your hotel, drops you at the stadium and returns when play ends. See the Dubai Tennis Championships chauffeur page for booking, and the Metro guide if you prefer the train.
Evening session checklist
- Ticket on your phone, plus ID.
- A light layer for after dark.
- A pickup point agreed with your driver before the last match.
- Flight numbers sent to your driver if you arrive that day through an airport transfer.
