WTA Finals to be held in Saudi Arabia from 2024-2026

London : The season-ending WTA Finals will be held in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh from 2024-2026, the women’s tennis body said on Thursday.
 
Riyadh will host the season finale – which features the top eight singles players and doubles teams – from Nov. 2-9 and replaces last year’s hosts Cancun, Mexico, Reuters reported.
 
The WTA said its agreement with the Saudi Tennis Federation will offer record prize money of $15.25 million this year with further increases in 2025 and 2026.
 
“To have a women’s tournament of this magnitude and profile is a defining moment for tennis in Saudi Arabia. The WTA Finals has the power to inspire far beyond the sport, especially for our young girls and women,” the Saudi sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal Al-Saud.
