The 2027 Miami Open presented by Itaú is held from Wednesday 17 March to Sunday 4 April 2027 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 hard-court tournament is one of the most prestigious events on the professional tennis calendar outside the four Grand Slams.
What is the Miami Open?
The Miami Open is a professional tennis tournament that forms the second leg of the Sunshine Double, played back-to-back with Indian Wells. It is one of nine ATP Masters 1000 events on the men’s tour and one of ten WTA 1000 events on the women’s tour, ranking it among the most important tournaments outside the Grand Slams. Both singles draws field 96 players, with the top 32 seeds receiving a first-round bye, and the doubles draw runs alongside.
The tournament awards 1,000 ranking points to the singles winners, plus prize money exceeding $9 million in each draw. Matches are played over the best of three sets, with the men’s and women’s finals typically scheduled on the final weekend. The Miami Open carries particular significance as the springboard into the European clay-court swing.

Key Contenders
The Miami Open consistently attracts the world’s top-ranked players in both the ATP and WTA fields. Recent men’s champions include Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.

The defending men’s and women’s champions from the 2026 tournament will return to defend their titles in 2027. Wildcards are typically awarded to leading American players and rising teenagers.
