Where to Watch Singapore Tennis Open 2026: TV Channels and Live Streaming Guide
The 2026 Singapore Tennis Open presented by BNP Paribas begins the WTA Tour’s Asian Swing, bringing top-level women’s tennis back to Singapore from September 21 to 27, 2026.
After returning to the calendar as a WTA 250 event in 2025, the tournament has been upgraded to WTA 500 status for 2026. The event will be played on indoor hard courts at the OCBC Arena, with a 28-player singles field and a 16-team doubles draw.
The field includes Mirra Andreeva, Amanda Anisimova, Alexandra Eala, Elise Mertens, Leylah Fernandez, Maria Sakkari and Donna Vekic, making Singapore one of the key tournaments to watch at the start of the Asian Swing.
If you are planning to follow the action from home, here is where to watch the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 in selected major markets.
Where to Watch the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 in Singapore
For viewers in the host country, the WTA lists StarHub as its broadcast partner in Singapore.
StarHub currently includes the WTA Tour as part of its tennis coverage, while its Hub Sports lineup identifies Hub Sports 1 HD (Channel 201) as a channel carrying WTA and other international athletics coverage. StarHub TV+ also allows supported subscribers to watch through TV boxes, mobile devices, web browsers and compatible smart TVs.
That makes StarHub the main destination for Singapore-based fans wanting to follow their home WTA 500 tournament.
Where to Watch in Southeast Asia
Interest in the Singapore Tennis Open should be particularly strong throughout Southeast Asia. The location makes the tournament convenient for regional audiences, while the presence of players such as Philippine star Alexandra Eala adds further interest.
Here are the main official options listed by the WTA for selected Southeast Asian markets:
| Country | Official WTA Broadcaster / Streaming Option |
|---|---|
| Singapore | StarHub |
| Indonesia | Champions TV |
| Philippines | TAP |
| Thailand | TrueVisions NOW |
| Malaysia | WTA TV |
| Vietnam | WTA TV |
Indonesia
Fans in Indonesia can look for Singapore Tennis Open coverage through Champions TV, which is listed by the WTA as its broadcaster for the Indonesian market.
Because individual match schedules and channels can change from day to day, viewers should check the broadcaster’s latest programming schedule close to match time.
Philippines
The WTA lists TAP for the Philippines.
The tournament should be especially relevant for Filipino tennis fans, with Alexandra Eala seeded No. 3 in the Singapore main draw.
Thailand
In Thailand, WTA coverage is available through TrueVisions NOW. The service’s current sports offering specifically includes the WTA Tour, alongside the four Grand Slams and other major sporting competitions.
TrueVisions also regularly provides individual WTA tournament coverage through its sports channels, so viewers should consult the daily schedule to find the exact channel and court coverage for Singapore.
Malaysia and Vietnam
The WTA’s current regional broadcaster list identifies WTA TV as the viewing option for both Malaysia and Vietnam.
Availability and match selection can vary by territory, so fans should confirm the latest streaming listings before play begins.
Singapore Tennis Open Coverage Across Asia-Pacific
The tournament is also available through a number of major broadcasters elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region.
| Market | Where to Watch |
|---|---|
| China | Migu, Tencent, Youku |
| Hong Kong, China | Now |
| India | Tennis Channel |
| Australia | beIN Sports, Stan Sport |
| New Zealand | TVNZ+, WTA TV |
These selections are based on the WTA’s official regional broadcast list.
China
Chinese fans have several ways to follow the tournament. The WTA has renewed its agreements with Migu and Tencent for the 2026 season, with both platforms providing coverage of WTA tournaments held outside mainland China. Youku also continues its WTA coverage during 2026.
That makes Migu, Tencent and Youku the key platforms to check for live coverage of the Singapore WTA 500.
Australia and New Zealand
In Australia, the WTA’s broadcaster listing names beIN Sports and Stan Sport, while New Zealand viewers can look to TVNZ+ and WTA TV.
Because Singapore is only a few hours behind or ahead of most Australian time zones, the tournament should also offer relatively convenient viewing hours compared with WTA events staged in Europe or North America.
How to Watch the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 in the United States
In the United States, the official home of WTA tennis is Tennis Channel.
WTA Ventures and Tennis Channel extended their US media agreement through 2032, covering WTA 1000, WTA 500 and WTA 250 tournaments staged outside the United States, including coverage across Tennis Channel’s television and digital platforms.
US viewers should therefore check the Tennis Channel schedule and its streaming platforms for daily Singapore coverage.
Because Singapore operates on GMT+8, many matches will take place overnight or during the early morning hours in the United States.
Where to Watch in the United Kingdom
For viewers in Great Britain, the WTA’s current broadcast list includes Sky Sports, alongside additional listed WTA broadcast partners for the market.
Sky Sports is also identified by the WTA as one of its major broadcast partners for the 2026 season.
Fans should check the daily Sky Sports tennis schedule because channel allocation can depend on other tournaments and sporting events taking place at the same time.
When Is the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 Final?
The women’s singles final will be played on Sunday, September 27, and is scheduled for not before 5:00 p.m. Singapore time.
The doubles final is scheduled earlier on the same day at 2:30 p.m. Singapore time.
For several important Asian markets, that means the singles final is scheduled for approximately:
| Market | Singles Final Time |

| Singapore | 5:00 p.m. |
| Malaysia | 5:00 p.m. |
| Philippines | 5:00 p.m. |

| Indonesia – WIT | 6:00 p.m. |
| Thailand | 4:00 p.m. |
| Vietnam | 4:00 p.m. |
| India | 2:30 p.m. |
The singles final is officially listed as “not before” 5 p.m., so the actual start can be later depending on the length of the doubles final and the tournament schedule.
Can You Watch the Singapore Tennis Open for Free?
Fans should not assume that the WTA’s free WTA Unlocked streaming applies to Singapore. WTA currently promotes free WTA Unlocked live streaming specifically for WTA 125 tournaments, whereas the Singapore Tennis Open is a WTA 500 event.
For Singapore 2026, viewers should therefore use the authorized broadcaster or streaming provider available in their country.
