Each spring, the clay courts of Porte d'Auteuil become the centre of the tennis world. In 2026, Roland-Garros returns from May 18 to June 7 for a new edition of the only Grand Slam played on clay. Three weeks of competition, thousands of spectators from around the world and Paris buzzing with sporting excitement: the perfect opportunity to combine a stay in the capital with one of tennis's great events.

From Hôtel R de Paris, a 4-star boutique hotel in the 9th arrondissement, you can reach the stadium quickly by public transport — and enjoy a comfortable place to unwind between match days.

Key dates for Roland-Garros 2026

The tournament spans three full weeks. Opening Week, from May 18 to 22, kicks things off with the qualifying rounds: an easy-going atmosphere, matches on the outside courts and the chance to watch top players practise on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Yannick Noah Day is scheduled for May 23, and the main draw begins on Sunday, May 24.

  • Quarter-finals: June 2 and 3, 2026.
  • Women's semi-finals: Thursday, June 4 / Men's semi-finals: Friday, June 5 (from 3 p.m. on Philippe-Chatrier).
  • Women's final: Saturday, June 6 / Men's final: Sunday, June 7, 2026.

Day sessions generally begin at 11 a.m. across all courts. Evening sessions on Court Philippe-Chatrier start at 8:15 p.m., with a single match under the lights — an especially striking atmosphere. New for this edition: the renovated Suzanne-Lenglen Court now has a retractable roof. With 10,000 seats, it offers a more intimate experience than Philippe-Chatrier and its 15,000 seats.
