What time is the Paris Masters 2026 final?

The programme says the singles final “starts at 3pm” on Sunday, Nov. 8, with doors at 11:30 a.m. By our conversion that is 2 p.m. GMT, 9 a.m. EST, 8 a.m. CST and 6 a.m. PST. The doubles final comes first at 12:30 p.m. Paris time, 6:30 a.m. EST.

On Saturday, Nov. 7, the doubles semi-final is at 12 p.m., the first singles semi-final “starts at 2.30pm” and the second is “not before 5pm”. A “not before” time is the earliest start. It moves later if the match before it runs long.

The wheelchair event runs Friday, Nov. 6 to Sunday, Nov. 8 on courts 2 and 3, and the wheelchair singles final is Sunday from 12:00 on court 2, according to the tournament’s wheelchair page.

Why is the gap to U.S. time different on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1?

France changed its clocks on Oct. 25, so Paris is on CET all tournament. U.S. clocks fall back at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, the day after the tournament opens. On Saturday, Oct. 31 Paris is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EDT). From Sunday, Nov. 1 it is 6 hours ahead (EST). That is why the same 10:30 a.m. Paris doors time is 5:30 a.m. Eastern on Saturday and 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. Every match session from Nov. 2 uses the 6-hour gap. See our daylight saving time ends Nov. 1, 2026 story and the daylight saving time page for the change itself.

Where is the Paris Masters played, and who is in the field?

The tournament is at the Plenitude Arena, 99 jardins de l’Arche, 92000 Nanterre (Paris La Défense). The official ticketing page says that since the 2025 edition the move to “Europe’s largest indoor venue” has marked a new milestone for the French Tennis Federation (FFT), and that La Plenitude Arena became a partner for the next 10 years in 2025. It can host four competition courts, including a centre court, and a practice court. The tournament gives no other reason for the move.

As of the Oct. 13 entry list, the field includes Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, Arthur Fils, Daniil Medvedev, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Jakub Mensik, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Rafael Jodar (making his debut), Holger Rune (2022 champion, entering on a protected ranking), Ugo Humbert and Arthur Rinderknech. The tournament says defending champion Jannik Sinner is absent. Withdrawals can change the list.
