WTA Finals 2026 at Indian Wells: Dates, Qualified Players and Match Times by Time Zone

The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) says the 2026 WTA Finals will be held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, from Nov. 8-15, and the WTA’s race page, checked Oct. 27, 2026, shows eight singles players marked Qualified. Both Nov. 8 and Nov. 15 are Sundays. Match times are not out: the WTA’s order of play page read “Order of Play Not Available Yet” on Oct. 27. The tables below give the dates, the qualified field and a time conversion you can reuse once the schedule is posted.

What are the WTA Finals 2026 dates?

Who has qualified for the WTA Finals 2026?

The WTA says the top eight singles players and doubles teams on the Race to the WTA Finals qualify. Its singles standings page, checked Oct. 27, 2026, marks these eight players Qualified:

Race rank	Player	Race points
1	Elena Rybakina (KAZ)	8,001
2	Aryna Sabalenka	6,550
3	Mirra Andreeva	6,306
4	Jessica Pegula (USA)	5,825
5	Coco Gauff (USA)	5,773
6	Elina Svitolina (UKR)	5,229
7	Karolina Muchova (CZE)	4,725
8	Linda Noskova (CZE)	4,353

The WTA lists no country code for Sabalenka and Andreeva, who appear as neutral athletes. The doubles field is not covered here because we did not confirm it.

The 2025 edition was in Riyadh, and the WTA says the 2026 Finals are at Indian Wells.

What time do WTA Finals matches start?

Not yet announced. Session start times and the order of play are not posted, and neither are the group names or the draw date. The table below is a set of conversion examples, not the schedule. U.S. daylight saving time ends Nov. 1, 2026, so Indian Wells is on Pacific Standard Time (PST), Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) minus 8 hours, for the whole event. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 3 hours ahead, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the U.K. is 8 hours ahead, Central European Time (CET) is 9 hours ahead, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is 19 hours ahead, at UTC plus 11 hours.

If a match starts at (Indian Wells, PST)	EST	GMT	CET	AEDT
11 a.m.	2 p.m.	7 p.m.	8 p.m.	6 a.m. next day
1 p.m.	4 p.m.	9 p.m.	10 p.m.	8 a.m. next day
4 p.m.	7 p.m.	12 a.m. next day	1 a.m. next day	11 a.m. next day
6 p.m.	9 p.m.	2 a.m. next day	3 a.m. next day	1 p.m. next day
7 p.m.	10 p.m.	3 a.m. next day	4 a.m. next day	2 p.m. next day

The clock change matters for planning: the same gap applies to every day of the event. Our daylight saving time ends Nov. 1, 2026 story covers the change, and the daylight saving time page has the rule.

What else has the WTA not announced?

The WTA’s pages we read do not give a 2026 prize money figure. The announcement describes the event only as having “one of the largest prize pools in women’s sport.” The WTA has not posted broadcast details for the United States or United Kingdom on the tournament page, so check your local listings. Other event times by zone are in our Paris Masters 2026 schedule and Las Vegas Grand Prix 2026 schedule stories.
