The 2026 edition drew more than 60,000 people, and the same format returns this year. Expect 28 singles players and 16 doubles teams across eight days, competing for a US$1.2 million prize fund and valuable WTA ranking points. WTA 500 events sit just below the tour’s biggest WTA 1000 tournaments, so the draw is a serious one, and that keeps the event a fixture on the international tennis calendar.
What’s New In 2027
The Village Pass
A new and big addition to the event that will provide fans and families access to the Mubadala Village. The programme includes live entertainment, tennis clinics, player Q&As, food and drink, sponsor activations, children’s activities and merchandise. Stadium ticket holders get the same Village access, so check which ticket type suits your plans before you buy.
Opening Weekend Perks
On 30 and 31 January, the Village Pass also covers all the qualifying matches across both days. Adult passes cost Dhs10 per day, and children under 12 get in free throughout the opening weekend.
