How Much Will the Chengdu Open 2026 Champion Earn?
The men’s singles champion in Chengdu will collect $184,085 and 250 ATP ranking points.
Using the same August 2026 exchange rates, that is approximately:
| Currency | Champion Prize |
|---|---|
| US Dollar | $184,085 |
| Euro | ≈€158,851 |
| British Pound | ≈£135,974 |
| Australian Dollar | ≈A$259,350 |
The runner-up will earn $107,375, or approximately €92,656, £79,312 and A$151,276.
Winning the final rather than finishing runner-up therefore represents an additional $76,710 in prize money.
Semifinalists receive $63,125 each, while quarterfinalists earn $36,570. Reaching the Round of 16 is worth $21,235, while players eliminated in their opening main-draw match receive $12,980.
Chengdu Open 2026 Qualifying Prize Money
Prize money is also available during qualifying.
| Qualifying Stage | ATP Points | USD | EUR* | GBP* | AUD* |

Players who successfully qualify for the main draw receive 13 ranking points for qualifying before competing for the points and prize money available in the main draw.
A successful qualifier does not receive a separate additional “$0 qualifying prize”; instead, that player advances into the main draw and becomes eligible for the applicable main-draw prize money.
Chengdu Open 2026 Doubles Prize Money
The Chengdu Open doubles draw features 16 teams, with the champions earning $64,020 per team and 250 ATP ranking points.
| Round | ATP Points | USD per Team | EUR* | GBP* | AUD* |

Chengdu Open 2026 Total Prize Money
The ATP lists $1,210,115 in total prize money for the 2026 Chengdu Open.
Converted using the same August 2026 rates, the purse is approximately:
| Currency | Total Prize Money |
|---|---|
| US Dollar | $1,210,115 |
| Euro | ≈€1,044,235 |
| British Pound | ≈£893,849 |
| Australian Dollar | ≈A$1,704,880 |
This figure covers the overall prize-money purse for the tournament and should not be confused with the amount paid to the singles champion alone.
Chengdu Open Prize Money Increases in 2026
Prize money has increased again for the 2026 tournament.
The 2025 Chengdu Open offered approximately $1,190,210, while the 2026 purse rises to $1,210,115. That represents an increase of $19,905, or approximately 1.7% year over year.
| Year | Total Prize Money |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $1,210,115 |
| 2025 | $1,190,210 |
| Increase | $19,905 (+1.7%) |
The singles champion’s payout has increased by a similar amount.
In 2025, Alejandro Tabilo earned $181,065 for winning the title. The 2026 champion will receive $184,085, an increase of $3,020, or approximately 1.7%. The ATP’s 2025 media notes confirm the previous winner’s payout and the round-by-round distribution.
| Round | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Champion | $181,065 | $184,085 |
| Finalist | $105,610 | $107,375 |
| Semifinal | $62,085 | $63,125 |
| Quarterfinal | $35,970 | $36,570 |
| Round of 16 | $20,885 | $21,235 |
| Opening Round | $12,765 | $12,980 |
Every main-draw singles stage therefore carries a slightly larger payout than it did a year ago.

The draw also includes Shang Juncheng, who received a wildcard after making history by winning Chengdu in 2024, as well as Tallon Griekspoor, Adrian Mannarino, Jenson Brooksby, Lorenzo Sonego and other established ATP players.
As a 28-player ATP 250 draw, the top four seeds receive opening-round byes.
Alejandro Tabilo Returns as Defending Chengdu Champion
Alejandro Tabilo returns as the defending singles champion following a dramatic victory over Lorenzo Musetti in the 2025 final.
Tabilo defeated the Italian 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5) after saving two championship points late in the deciding set. It was the Chilean’s third ATP Tour title.
In doubles, Constantin Frantzen and Robin Haase won the 2025 championship, defeating Vasil Kirkov and Bart Stevens 4-6, 6-3, [10-7] in the final.
Shang Juncheng’s Historic Chengdu Title
Chengdu also holds a special place in Chinese tennis history.
In 2024, Shang Juncheng became the first Chinese man to win an ATP Tour singles title on home soil, defeating Lorenzo Musetti in the final. The ATP lists Shang as the tournament’s youngest champion at 19 years old.
Shang returns to Chengdu in 2026 as a wildcard and could potentially meet defending champion Tabilo in the second round if he advances from his opening match.
