The 2025 European Open, also known as the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open for sponsorship reasons, was a men’s professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts in Brussels, Belgium. As part of the ATP Tour 250 series, the event continued to serve as one of the key late-season stops in Europe. Since its inception, the European Open had attracted top international players and rising stars, offering both valuable ATP ranking points and competitive prize money. The tournament was also known for its intimate atmosphere, allowing fans to experience world-class tennis up close. The 2025 edition marked the 10th of the event and took place October 13 to October 19, 2025 at the Brussels Expo.1“European Open 2025: New Location, Same Vibe!”. europeanopen.be.

The Venue: Brussels Expo (ING Arena)
The 2025 edition heralds a major geographical shift, moving the tournament from the Lotto Arena in Antwerp to the expansive Brussels Expo complex in Brussels. Specifically, the matches will be played in the ING Arena, which is one of the main halls within the Expo.
Venue Details and History
Brussels Expo, situated on the Heysel Plateau in the Laeken district, is the largest exhibition center in Belgium. It is a landmark location, known for hosting major international events and trade fairs since the 1935 Brussels World Exhibition. The complex is also notably close to the iconic Atomium structure.
The move to Brussels Expo offers the tournament a potentially larger and more modern infrastructure, allowing for enhanced spectator experience and logistical efficiency. While the European Open itself has no prior history at the Brussels Expo, the city has previously hosted the WTA’s Brussels Open (2011–2013) at the Royal Primerose Tennis Club, though that event was played on outdoor clay. The ING Arena, a versatile event hall within the complex, will be temporarily converted to house the main court and surrounding infrastructure for the ATP 250 tournament.
Playing Surface
As with its previous editions in Antwerp, the European Open in Brussels will feature indoor hard courts, a surface preferred by many players during the autumn European swing. The indoor setting ensures protection from weather and provides optimal, consistent playing conditions for high-level tennis.
Player Field
As an ATP 250 event held late in the season, the European Open often attracts a mix of top-30 players seeking to secure ATP Finals qualification or finish the year strongly, as well as talented up-and-comers. The final player field is subject to change due to withdrawals and late entries, but based on early announcements and rankings as of late September 2025, the field promises a competitive week of tennis.
