ATP Finals

The ATP Finals is the season-ending championship of the men's tour, held in Turin on indoor hard courts, played in November. Eight players qualify for the singles, with eight doubles teams alongside them.

The ATP Finals close the men's season indoors with the eight highest-ranked players of the year in two round-robin groups. Every player is guaranteed three matches, which makes it the only tournament of the season where a bad first day does not end the week.

The format rewards sustained quality rather than a single hot afternoon. Winning the title requires five matches against opposition that is, by definition, the strongest assembled anywhere all year, and there is no soft opening round to find rhythm in.

Indoor hard courts remove weather from the equation entirely, so the tournament is usually treated as the cleanest available test of who played best across the season.

The season finale has been played since 1970 and passed through Tokyo, Frankfurt, Shanghai and London before settling in Turin in 2021. The eight leading doubles teams run their own round robin at the same venue, so every session of the week carries two matches rather than one.

Novak Djokovic has won the event seven times, one more than Roger Federer, and the two of them collected those titles across four different host cities as the tournament moved. Each session in Turin pairs a doubles match with a singles match, so an evening ticket covers two results rather than one, and the doubles draw runs the same round-robin format as the singles. The two groups are named after past players rather than lettered A and B, and the names change from one year to the next, which is why the draw sheet reads differently every November.

Entry lists, the order of play and ticketing are on the official ATP Finals site.

There is no qualifying to fold into these dates. The eight places are earned across the whole season, and the field is settled only once the last tournament before it finishes.

The season finals use round-robin groups rather than a bracket, so a player can lose a match and still win the title. The draws guide sets the group stage beside the knockout draws every other tournament uses.

Jannik Sinner won the men's title in 2025, beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final by 7-6, 7-5. World number 1 on the list current when this page was built.

Jannik Sinner took the ATP Finals title from the number 2 seeding, and the final went 2 sets.

Rights to the ATP Finals are sold country by country, so the answer depends entirely on where you are sitting. Nothing here is free to air in the major markets, which is the usual position below Grand Slam level.

The ATP Finals is played in Turin, and matches follow the local schedule, so check the order of play against your own time zone before committing an evening to it.

Turin runs an afternoon and an evening session every day of the group stage, each with one singles and one doubles match, all on the same court with full broadcast coverage. Nothing is hidden on an outside court because there are none. The evening session starts at 8.30pm local, which is a comfortable European slot and an afternoon one on the American east coast, and the whole event is indoors so the schedule does not move.

If you follow more than one tournament a year, the viewing guide compares the subscriptions against each other.
