WTA Dubai Open 2026: Live Streaming, TV Channel, where & how to watch?
Mirra Andreeva is the defending champion.
The WTA Dubai Open 2026 marks the final chapter of the Middle East swing starting from February 15 to 21. Hosted in Dubai, the tournament has long been known for its fast courts, strong fields, and major ranking implications ahead of the Sunshine Double.
This year’s edition carries added intrigue following the withdrawals of top seeds Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, opening up the draw and creating fresh opportunities across the field. Despite their absence, the tournament still features 16 of the world’s top 20 players.
Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina enters the event as the top seed, after a quarter-final exit in Doha just recently. She has a golden chance to surpass Swiatek and occupy the World No. 2 ranking for the first time in her career.
