2026 Mallorca Championships: Schedule, Prize Money, Players and Broadcast Info
Summer is here, which means the tennis world shifts its attention to beautiful, fast grass courts. Right before the historic grass courts of Wimbledon take center stage, players travel to the sunny Spanish island of Mallorca for one of the most exciting tune-up events on the calendar: the 2026 Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Championships.
Whether you are planning to watch the action live from the stands or streaming it from the comfort of your home, this complete guide covers everything you need to know. We will break down the tournament’s history, the daily schedule, the player field, prize money, and how you can catch every match on television.
Welcome to the Grass Courts of Mallorca
The 2026 edition of the Mallorca Championships marks the sixth time this spectacular event is part of the ATP 250 tier. Running from June 21 to June 27, 2026, the tournament provides top men’s tennis players a perfect chance to adjust their movement and shot-making to grass surfaces.
The tournament is held at the prestigious Mallorca Country Club located in Santa Ponsa, Calvià. Known for its world-class facilities and pristine natural grass courts, the venue mirrors the playing conditions players will face in London just a week later. Best of all, the event is led by Tournament Director Toni Nadal, the legendary coach and uncle of Rafael Nadal. Under his watchful eye, this tournament has grown into a favorite pit stop for tennis fans and professional athletes alike.
A Brief Walk Through History
The legacy of professional tennis in Mallorca is deep, but its modern grass-court chapter began fairly recently. The venue originally hosted a women’s WTA International tournament from 2016 to 2019, crowning famous Grand Slam champions like Caroline Garcia and Sofia Kenin.
In 2021, the event transitioned to the men’s tour, re-introducing the ATP to Mallorca after a lengthy 18-year absence. Since then, the tournament has produced incredible storylines, breakthrough moments, and high-profile winners:
- 2021: The inaugural men’s edition was won by Daniil Medvedev, who used the momentum to claim the World No. 1 ranking later on.
- 2022: Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas fought through a tough final against home-favorite Roberto Bautista Agut to capture his very first grass-court trophy.
- 2023: American underdog Christopher Eubanks shocked the field. Ranked No. 77 at the time, he secured his maiden ATP tour title here, sparking a fairytale run that extended deep into Wimbledon.
- 2024: Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo made history by becoming the first Chilean player in the Open Era to secure an ATP grass-court crown.
- 2025: Last year, the Netherlands’ Tallon Griekspoor put on a masterclass, defeating France’s Corentin Moutet in a close straight-sets battle (7-5, 7-6) to lift the singles trophy. Meanwhile, the veteran pair of Santiago González and Austin Krajicek won a dramatic doubles final after saving three match points.
Meet the Stars: The 2026 Player Field
The entry list for the 2026 Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Championships is a great mix of rising stars, dangerous grass-court veterans, and returning fan favorites. Leading the charge as the top seeds are Italy’s Luciano Darderi and the energetic American Frances Tiafoe.
However, the main draw features plenty of depth and exciting wildcard entrants. The highly anticipated return of Australia’s Nick Kyrgios adds plenty of fire to the grass, a surface where his massive serve and slick volleys make him incredibly dangerous. Former champion Stefanos Tsitsipas joins the list as a high-profile late entry, looking to recreate his 2022 success.
Here is a closer look at the top eight seeded players for the singles main draw, based on their official ATP rankings:
| Seed | Player | Country | ATP Ranking |
| 1 | Luciano Darderi | Italy | 17 |
| 2 | Alejandro Davidovich Fokina | Spain | 22 |
| 3 | Frances Tiafoe | United States | 26 |
| 4 | Alejandro Tabilo | Chile | 31 |

| 6 | Corentin Moutet | France | 36 |
| 7 | Mariano Navone | Argentina | 39 |
| 8 | Adrian Mannarino | France | 44 |
Beyond the seeds, local Spanish hero Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will enjoy strong backing from the home crowd. Fans should also look out for wildcard entries Grigor Dimitrov and German powerhouse Jan-Lennard Struff, both of whom possess the aggressive playstyles needed to thrive on grass.
