ATP Finals 2026 begins Monday, November 15. The season-ending men’s championship runs at Turin’s Inalpi Arena. It starts at 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm GMT / 6:30am AEDT. Eight players compete — Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jódar.

Jannik Sinner is absent again, injured. So is Alex De Minaur. Taylor Fritz is the second alternate. | Zverev just became world No. 1, then lost his first match in straight sets at the Paris Masters. ‘The first newly crowned world number one to lose their first match in straight sets since topping the pile,’ TechRadar wrote.

He’ll want redemption. | Alcaraz won Paris, beating Shelton 7-6, 7-5, but missed four-and-a-half months with a wrist injury. Now he’s managing knee pain. He’s chasing his first ATP Finals title. | Shelton reached the US Open final. His serve could dominate indoors.

Medvedev ‘seems a little world weary’, per TechRadar. Cobolli carries Italian hopes. Fils, Tiafoe and Jódar all make their ATP Finals debuts. | Day 1 opens with Zverev vs Jódar and Shelton vs Fils. | The tournament uses round-robin groups of four, then semifinals and a final.
