The 2026 French Open is a Grand Slam tennis tournament that will be held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France from 18 May to 7 June 2026.

The 2026 French Open will retain the use of human line judges, unlike the other Grand Slam tournaments which have shifted to electronic line calling.

Starting at the 2026 French Open, the Grand Slam tournaments will permit the use of connected devices by players for the first time, such as the Whoop bands, allowing players access to a broader range of performance-related information during competition.

Two-time defending men's singles champion Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his title, as he withdrew before the start of the tournament due to a wrist injury. Coco Gauff is the defending champion in women's singles.

The French Open tournament will commemorate its heritage, history, and past champions during the 2026 edition through a series of official tributes and ceremonies.

A ceremony honoring Caroline Garcia is scheduled to take place on Court Philippe-Chatrier on 4 June 2026, between the women’s singles semifinals. Garcia, a former world No. 4, concluded her professional career in 2025 after 19 seasons on the tour.

In addition, a tribute will be organized on 26 May 2026 to mark the 70th anniversary of Althea Gibson’s victory at the 1956 French Championships. By winning the singles title, Gibson became the first woman of color to claim a Grand Slam singles championship.

On the men’s side, Stan Wawrinka—the 2015 champion and 2017 finalist—is set to compete in his 21st and final appearance at Roland-Garros in 2026. Tournament organizers have announced that he will be honored following his last match at Porte d’Auteuil.

Similarly, Gaël Monfils is expected to make his final appearance at the tournament. A formal tribute will be held on court after his last match. Additionally, Monfils will headline a special exhibition event on 21 May 2026 at Court Philippe-Chatrier, featuring appearances by current and former players, as well as figures from outside the sport. The event, organized in a celebratory format, will include tennis matches and entertainment segments.
