[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The <\/span>China Open<\/span> is a headline stop in the Asian hard-court swing, taking place in autumn, soon after the US Open. For 2026, <\/span>the tournament runs from 30 September until 6 October for men and 11 October for women<\/b>. That difference is because it\u2019s an ATP 500 and a WTA 1000 event, held at the National Tennis Center in Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n

This page will bring together the <\/span>China Open schedule<\/span>, explain the daily order of play, and host the main tournament information and UK viewing details, all in one place. You can also follow the action and find markets on the <\/span>7bet tennis betting hub<\/span><\/a> throughout the fortnight.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_js el_class=”banner-highlight”]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbTdqUEZ6Ml9HckFXTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDczJTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_js][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

China Open Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>China Open<\/span> event is a combined one, but the two draws are of very different sizes, meaning they have unique timelines. <\/span>The men\u2019s ATP 500 features a 32-player singles draw<\/b>, across roughly a week. On the other hand, <\/span>the women\u2019s WTA 1000 tournament has a 96-player singles draw<\/b> that takes almost two weeks to conclude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the main tournament, there\u2019s the Qualifying. Singles rounds begin on 30 September. The table below outlines the main stages for both events. At the time of writing, the dates are preliminary and can shift by a day depending on the scheduling<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” el_class=”eb-table”]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For the men, the second round doubles as the Round of 32, meaning matches are more spread out, since there\u2019s no separate 3<\/span><\/i>rd<\/span><\/i> round.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
