2026 Valencia Women's International Tennis Open

A WTA tour event — the organisers describe it as the only one in the Valencian Community — played from 13 to 20 September 2026 at the Sporting Club de Tenis, Avinguda de les Balears 29. The singles draw is 64 players and the doubles draw 16 pairs, so there is tennis spread across the whole week rather than only on finals weekend. The organisers also highlight sustainability and inclusion initiatives around the tournament.

How a tournament week works

With a 64-player draw, the early rounds are the best value for a spectator: several matches run at once on different courts and you can wander between them instead of sitting through one. As the week narrows, there are fewer matches, better tennis and bigger crowds. The order of play is published one day at a time, once the previous round finishes, so nobody can tell you in advance who plays when. Ticket prices are not listed here — check the official page.

Getting there and what to bring

September in València is still summer. Outdoor courts have no shade at midday: hat, water, sunscreen. Late-afternoon and evening sessions are far more comfortable. Weather in València has the month-by-month picture. The club is not in the old town, so plan a public-transport hop from the centre; fares and how the network fits together are in getting around València. Buy a rechargeable travel card rather than single tickets if you are staying the week.

The rest of the day

A tennis day leaves plenty of hours. The sea is still warm in September and quieter than in August — Malva-rosa beach is reachable by tram or bus from most of the city. For an indoor afternoon, the Science Museum. If you are staying the full week, where to stay in València breaks the city down by neighbourhood.
