The season-ending Nitto ATP Finals returns to Turin, Italy from November 15-22, 2026, bringing together the eight highest-ranked singles players in the ATP Race for one last showcase before the year concludes.
## Key Details
– Dates: November 15-22, 2026
– Venue: Inalpi Arena, Turin, Italy
– Format: Round-robin group stage followed by knockout semifinals and a final
– Defending champion: Jannik Sinner
## How Qualification Works
The eight players who qualify are determined by the ATP Race, which counts only points earned during the 2026 calendar year, unlike the standard rankings, which span a rolling 52 weeks. The eight qualifiers are split into two groups of four, with each player facing the other three in their group before the top two from each group advance to the semifinals.
## The Favorites
Jannik Sinner enters as the defending champion and heavy favorite, having led the ATP Race for most of the season. Alexander Zverev, fresh off his breakthrough Roland-Garros title, and Carlos Alcaraz both look well positioned to qualify, assuming their fall form holds. For the current standings feeding into qualification, see our latest ATP rankings breakdown.
## Why Turin Matters
This will mark the sixth consecutive year the event has been held at the Inalpi Arena, which has developed a reputation for electric crowds and some of the most entertaining tennis of the entire season, given the round-robin format guarantees every qualifier at least three matches.
## Prize Money
The ATP Finals offers substantial prize money on top of ranking points, with an undefeated run through the round-robin and knockout stages worth several million dollars to the eventual champion. Exact figures are confirmed closer to the event.
## What Comes Before Turin
Qualification will be decided during the fall swing, including the Asian hard-court events and the Rolex Paris Masters. See our ATP Tour schedule guide for the complete run-up to the Finals, and our Laver Cup 2026 guide for the team event that precedes this stretch of the calendar.
