ITF World Tennis Masters Championships 2026
Some tennis rivalries last a season. Others are built over decades.
From November 8–21, 2026, the ITF World Tennis Masters Championships will bring experienced competitors from around the globe to Manavgat, Antalya, where players in the 60+, 65+, and 70+ age categories will compete for world titles on the red clay courts of Ali Bey Club Manavgat. Over two weeks, the tournament will celebrate not only the highest levels of competitive Masters tennis but also the determination, skill, and passion that keep athletes competing long after their first tournaments.
The championship will unfold in two stages. From November 8 to 13, the World Team Championships will bring national teams together for six days of international competition. Players will represent their countries in the men's and women's age divisions, combining individual performance with the responsibility of competing for their teammates and national colors. From November 14 to 21, attention will shift to the World Individual Championships, where competitors will pursue world titles in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
On the court, experience will be every bit as important as athletic ability. Long rallies, carefully constructed points, tactical adjustments, and the physical demands of red clay will shape the competition. These will be athletes who understand the game through years of practice and competition, yet still arrive with the same ambition that has driven generations of tennis players: to win the next point, the next match, and ultimately a world championship.
The setting will add another dimension to the tournament. Located on Antalya's Mediterranean coast, Ali Bey Club Manavgat will bring championship tennis into a resort environment where players, families, and supporters can spend time together beyond the matches. November will offer a quieter side of the Turkish Riviera, with coastal walks, relaxed afternoons, and opportunities to explore the region's remarkable heritage.
Just a short journey away, visitors can discover ancient Side, where Roman ruins, stone streets, and the sea-facing Temple of Apollo reveal centuries of Mediterranean history. Local cuisine will complete the experience with Antalya piyazı, a white bean salad dressed in creamy sesame tahini sauce; gözleme, a thin Turkish flatbread filled with cheese, potatoes, or herbs; and the region's fresh citrus specialties.
The years behind these players will make their stories richer, not the stakes smaller. And with ancient ruins, Mediterranean shores, and warm hospitality waiting beyond the courts, Manavgat will offer a championship experience worth traveling for, whether you're competing for a world title or cheering someone on from the stands.
