The 2026 Delray Beach Open Complete Schedule is Here
DELRAY BEACH, FL โ The eyes of the tennis world turn to South Florida this February as the Delray Beach Open prepares to celebrate its 34th edition. Running from February 13 to February 22, 2026, the worldโs only 10-day combined ATP 250 and Legends event promised high-stakes drama on the hard courts of the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center.
With a legacy of launching future stars and hosting the gameโs greatest icons, the 2026 tournament features one of the most competitive fields in recent memory. At the heart of the narrative is world No. 7 Taylor Fritz, who enters the week with a chance to do something no player has ever done in the tournamentโs three-decade history: win a third singles title.
Fritz Chases History
Taylor Fritz, the 2023 and 2024 champion, returns to his “home away from home” looking to break a long-standing stalemate. While greats like Jason Stoltenberg and Jan-Michael Gambill have hoisted the trophy twice, the elusive third title remains unclaimed.
โWinning here in back-to-back years was a career highlight,โ Fritz said in a pre-tournament statement. โThe energy in Delray is unique. Iโm ready to give everything to get that third one.โ Fritz is scheduled to make his 2026 debut during the Thursday night session on February 19 at 8:00 PM, a slot that has become a tradition for the top-seeded American.
A Field of Contenders: Ruud and Paul Lead the Charge
Standing in Fritzโs way is a formidable lineup of top-30 talent. Making his highly anticipated tournament debut is world No. 13 Casper Ruud. The Norwegian star, a three-time Grand Slam finalist, follows in the footsteps of his father, Christian Ruud, who competed in Delray Beach back in 1998.
Local fans will undoubtedly rally behind Palm Beach County resident Tommy Paul. Currently ranked in the top 20, Paul is looking to avenge his 2024 runner-up finish. Joining them are past champion Frances Tiafoe and Great Britainโs Cameron Norrie, ensuring that every round of the 28-player singles draw is a “must-watch” encounter.
The 2026 edition also highlights the “Next Gen” surge, featuring 2025 breakthrough stars Learner Tien and Alex Michelsen, as well as Spanish sensation Rafael Jodar, who entered via the Next Gen Accelerator program.
Legends Weekend: Del Potro and the Bryan Brothers
The festivities begin before the main ATP draw even kicks off. From February 13โ15, the Legends Event brings together fan favorites for a series of high-energy exhibition matches.
The headliner for the opening weekend is the “Tower of Tandil,” Juan Martin del Potro, who joins forces with Jesse Levine to take on the most successful doubles duo in history, Bob and Mike Bryan. Other legends slated to appear include Tommy Haas, the Jensen Brothers, and Xavier Malisse.
