Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open 2027

The Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open is a WTA 500 tennis tournament staged in Abu Dhabi, presented by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council. The 2027 edition runs over eight days at the International Tennis Centre in Zayed Sports City, and it is counted among the leading women's events on the WTA Tour. The draw brings together top female players from around the world, so the week is built around professional singles tennis at a high level.

The tournament opens with the official Draw Ceremony, held live on the Mubadala Village Stage. Fans can watch as the first-round match-ups are revealed and see some of the WTA stars who have come to compete. Away from the courts, the programme includes entertainment, games and coaching clinics, all meant to get more people involved in the sport rather than just watching it.

The venue is the International Tennis Centre in Zayed Sports City, a long-established sports district in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The area is home to major stadiums and sports facilities and is a regular host of big sporting occasions. Abu Dhabi is a drive from Dubai, usually about an hour to an hour and a half by car, so many Dubai residents treat a tennis day here as a short trip out.

The event suits tennis followers, families and anyone who wants a live sporting week in the capital. A tournament like this is usually a day of watching matches, with time to explore the fan activities between them. Children under 12 get complimentary access throughout the opening weekend, which covers the qualifying stages, making that stretch a convenient time for families to come together. The tournament's own motto sums up the mood: Rally Together. Feel The Energy.
