2026 Week 1
New Year, New Balls Please
Welcome to 2026, Tennis Watchers! We are back full force with the first guide of the year as live tennis will kick off News Years Day. Escape the cold and snow to the sunny Australian Swing with United Cup action kicking off the new year. If you are a subscriber over the past month, welcome! You’ll get a weekly rundown of tournaments, how to watch them, and key links (Socials/Weather/Time Conversions) for each tournament.
This weekend action will kick off with the joint WTA/ATP Brisbane event, followed by Auckland (WTA) and Hong Kong (ATP). As always with the Australian Swing, live matches will start in the evening stateside with replays the following day. Coverage will be on Tennis Channel/TC Plus and ATP Streaming available on Tennis TV.
Note for monthly TC Plus subscribers, the price will increase to $11.99/month at the end of January (looks like yearly cost remains $109).
