The Nitto ATP Finals is the men’s season-ending championship: the eight best singles players and the eight best doubles teams of the year, in two round-robin groups and then a knockout. The 2026 edition is played from Sunday, 15 November, to Sunday, 22 November, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, on an indoor hard court. It is the sixth edition in Turin, and the last week of the men’s tour season before the Davis Cup Final 8.
Jannik Sinner won the last two titles, but he ended his 2026 season on 6 October with a knee injury and will not defend. This guide covers how the field is chosen, how the week works, the points and prize money, and every champion since 2009. The women’s event is covered in our WTA Finals guide.
When and Where
The event runs over eight days, Sunday to Sunday, from 15 to 22 November 2026, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin. Seating for 2026 is set to exceed 13,500, and the 2026 edition adds an open-view practice court in the Fan Village and four courtside terraces. Tickets are sold for 15 sessions, as single-day and season tickets, through the event’s official ticket office and TicketOne.
Turin has hosted since 2021, after 12 years at The O2 in London. In July 2026 the ATP confirmed Turin as host through 2027; the event stays in Italy through 2030 under an agreement with the Italian federation, with the venue beyond 2027 still under evaluation. Nitto is the title partner for the same period.
How Players Qualify
The field is decided by the calendar-year standings, published weekly as the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, after the Rolex Paris Masters. The ATP Rulebook sets the selection list in this order: the top seven players in the rankings on the Monday after Paris, then up to two Grand Slam champions of that year ranked between eighth and 20th, then the players from eighth place down. The top eight on that list qualify.
Paris runs from 2 to 8 November 2026, so the cut falls after its final. The rule also says results from tournaments the week after Paris count toward the following year, which means the Stockholm Open (8 to 14 November) cannot change the 2026 field. Doubles uses the same structure with the team rankings.
A qualified player who cannot play still holds his place on the list until he withdraws. With Sinner out for the rest of the year, ninth place in the Race is effectively the last qualifying position. The next player on the selection list is designated as the alternate and must attend the pre-tournament media conference and stay available until the start of the last round-robin match. The ATP may name further alternates, whose participation is optional. An alternate who is not used is paid a fee; one who comes in before a player’s first match becomes a direct acceptance. The full mechanism is in our ATP Finals alternates explainer, and the points system behind the Race is in How the ATP Race Works.
The Format
The eight singles players are split into two groups of four. The No. 1 seed goes into one group and the No. 2 seed into the other; seeds three and four, five and six, and seven and eight are then drawn in pairs, the first name drawn going into the first group. Each player plays the other three in his group, and the top two in each group reach the semifinals, where a group winner plays the runner-up from the other group.
Group places are decided first by wins, then by matches played, so a 2-1 record beats 2-0 from a player who withdrew. If two players are level, the head-to-head decides it. If three are level, the order goes to percentage of sets won, then percentage of games won, then ranking. A player who takes over from a withdrawal mid-group keeps whatever points and prize money he earns.
All singles matches, the final included, are best of three tie-break sets. Doubles matches are two tie-break sets with a 10-point match tie-break at one set all.
Points and Prize Money
Points are earned per win rather than per round reached. Each round-robin win is worth 200, a semifinal win 400 and the final 500, so an undefeated champion collects 1,500, the same in singles and doubles. A player who loses all three group matches leaves with none. That is why a strong week in Turin can still reshape the top of the rankings and the race for year-end No. 1.
Prize money works the same way. Every player receives a participation fee and earns more for each win. The 2026 figures had not been published at the time of writing; the 2025 schedule, the largest in the event’s history at $15.5 million, is in the Season Snapshot below.

Records
Djokovic holds the record with seven titles. His 2023 win over Sinner broke the tie with Federer, who won six, in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011. Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras won five each. John McEnroe is the youngest champion, at 19 years and 11 months in 1978.
Since 2009, the undefeated champions are Federer in 2010 and 2011, Djokovic in 2012, 2013 and 2022, Murray in 2016, Dimitrov in 2017, Medvedev in 2020, and Sinner in 2024 and 2025. Sinner did not drop a set in either of his title runs. He became the first Italian champion in 2024, and in 2025 beat Alcaraz in the final in front of a home crowd. He is 15-2 at the event and has won his last 10 matches there, since losing the 2023 final to Djokovic.
