Basel and Vienna 2026: Dates, Fields and How to Follow Both ATP 500s

Basel and Vienna share an October 26–November 1 main-draw week in 2026. Both are indoor hard-court ATP 500 tournaments, and Tennis TV lists live coverage of each. Qualifying begins over the October 24–25 weekend, before the main draws start on Monday.

Dates and Where to Watch

Use Tennis TV’s dedicated Basel tournament page or Vienna tournament page to find the event. The service is available to subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. Its coverage policy includes ATP 500 singles and doubles, but excludes qualifying matches. Do not purchase it expecting the October 24–25 qualifying rounds to be included.

Fields and Draws

Vienna’s October 22 event guide lists Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Frances Tiafoe, Alex de Minaur, Jakub Mensik and Learner Tien among the field. The draw is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at Marx Halle. Its official draw page had no pairings posted when checked on October 23; these names should not be read as first-round matchups.

In Basel, the tournament’s October 19 update gives main-draw wild cards to Stan Wawrinka, Jérôme Kym and Dominic Stricker. It also confirms the withdrawals of Félix Auger-Aliassime and defending champion João Fonseca. The current players page lists Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils, Rafael Jódar and Novak Djokovic among the entrants. Entry lists can change before play.

Daily Schedules and Mountain Time

The daily order of play establishes the actual match sequence. Vienna’s event guide still lists its main-draw schedule and November 1 final times as to be announced. Basel’s official site announces a Wawrinka tribute on Monday, October 26, while his first-round match is planned for Tuesday, October 27. The ceremony and the match are separate events; the session schedule lists the daily court starts.

Basel and Vienna use Central European Time, UTC+1, during the main-draw week. From October 26–31, subtract seven hours for MDT in Denver or Alberta. On Sunday, November 1, Denver returns to MST, so subtract eight hours there; Alberta remains UTC−6 under Alberta Time, still seven hours behind the tournament clocks. Check the day as well as the time when setting an alert.
