The 2026 Korea Open brings another week of WTA tennis to Seoul as players compete through qualifying and the main draw.

Each daily section includes the scheduled court, match order, players, seeds and updated results once matches are completed. Matches listed as “Followed By” do not have a fixed start time and will begin after the previous match on the same court has finished.

All primary match times are listed in Korea Standard Time (KST), with additional conversions for international readers in US Eastern Time (EDT), British Summer Time (BST), Central European Summer Time (CEST) and Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). This makes it easier to follow the action from different regions without having to calculate the time difference manually.
