Roland-Garros

How the fortnight runs

Roland-Garros 2027 is on from 17 May to 6 June, played on clay at the stadium in the western part of Paris, by the Bois de Boulogne. The first five days, 17 to 21 May, are Opening Week and the qualifying matches. The first round of the main draw starts on Sunday 23 May and runs to 25 May, the quarter-finals are on 1 and 2 June, the semi-finals on 3 and 4 June, and the finals on 5 and 6 June: the women's singles on Saturday, the men's on Sunday.

How tickets go on sale

Individual tickets for 2027 were not on sale on 18 September 2026. The French Tennis Federation said then that the sale details would be announced on tickets.rolandgarros.com by mid-October, and that any offer of 2027 individual tickets from another source is fraudulent: such sites may never deliver a ticket, and the federation offers no refund. Hospitality packages are sold at hospitality.rolandgarros.com and hotel-plus-ticket packages at travel.rolandgarros.com.

The 2027 dates have not been announced. The 2026 pattern was this:

• A ballot, open from 3 December 2025 at 10am Paris time to 17 December 2025. Winners were told before the end of February and got a purchase window in the second half of that month. Winning guarantees a slot to buy, not the tickets you want.

• A limit of 4 tickets for the show courts, and of 4 for the outside courts from 24 to 31 May.

• A first-come, first-served sale on 31 March 2026 at 10am for Opening Week and for the outside courts of the second week. The limit there was 15 tickets.

The LTA, the British federation, gives the same shape for 2027: ballot in December, general sale for the first week and the second-week outside courts in late March.

Which session to pick

Opening Week is the qualifying week. The official travel site says every ticket sold for it in 2027 is a standard ticket with free seating on all courts. In 2026 the week's ticket covered Suzanne-Lenglen, the qualifying matches on the outside courts and top players' practice sessions on Philippe-Chatrier, and Yannick Noah Day, the charity family day, was the Saturday before the main draw.

You choose a seat category, not an exact seat. A day ticket also opens the outside courts that day. A night ticket gets you into the outside courts only from 6:30pm, so a night-only ticket is a one-match evening. Tickets in the travel packages arrive about a week before in the Roland-Garros app.

Four matches, and the ticket also opens the outside courts on the day.

Any central-court ticket opens the Simonne-Mathieu high stands in free seating during the first week. From the second week Simonne-Mathieu is an outside court open to all. In 2026 the outside-courts ticket for 1 to 7 June covered wheelchair and quad tennis, junior singles and doubles and the Trophée des Légendes.

Getting there

RATP, the Paris transit operator, says to take metro line 10 to Porte d'Auteuil and follow the signs to the stadium. By RER it says to take line C to Pont du Garigliano and walk or take a bus from there. The stadium's access page, in the Roland-Garros app and on rolandgarros.com, has the year's bus stops and closures.

The metro tickets are digital: see Paris in 3 days for the Navigo Easy and phone options and the airport fare.

Where to sleep

Sleep near a stop on metro line 10 and you reach Porte d'Auteuil without a change. Saint-Germain and the Left Bank are on it: line 10 crosses the district from east to west. Where to stay in Paris compares the districts. Boulogne-Billancourt is the suburb at the western end of the same line, outside the city limits.

If you buy a hotel-plus-ticket package from Roland-Garros Travel, the first night falls on the day of your match ticket and a second night the day after. You cannot pick the exact seat, and seats come from rows held for the package.
