Professional tennis players from around the world will compete in Palm Coast later this month as the city hosts the 2026 Palm Coast Open at the Southern Recreation Center.
The tournament, sanctioned by the USTA Pro Circuit and the ITF World Tennis Tour, will run from January 30 through February 22, 2026. The event marks approximately 15 years of professional men’s tennis being hosted in Palm Coast, reflecting the tournament’s growth and continued success in the community.
The men’s competition begins with a wild card tournament from January 30 through February 1, followed by the main tournament from February 2 through February 8. The women’s competition follows with its wild card tournament running February 13 through February 15 and the main tournament taking place February 16 through February 22.
The Flagler County Tourist Development Council provided a grant to support the tournament, recognizing its contribution to local tourism. The event draws visiting athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators to the area, generating hotel stays and supporting local businesses throughout the nearly month-long competition period.
The tournament is open to the public, and residents and visitors are encouraged to attend and watch professional-level tennis. Spectators should note that morning sessions tend to be the busiest times, as multiple matches are often scheduled during early hours.
Parking at the Southern Recreation Center, located at 1290 Belle Terre Parkway, is limited. Organizers strongly encourage attendees to carpool when possible. Redefined Food Co., located at the recreation center, will be open during the tournament to provide food and beverage options for spectators.
Attendees should be aware that USTA competition rules prohibit photography, video recording, and live sharing of match scores during play. These requirements are in place to maintain fair competition and a professional environment for all participants.
Additional event details, including match schedules and spectator information, are available at palmcoast.gov/events.
