Rolex Paris Masters on the move in 2025

After a 2024 edition lit up by Alexander Zverev’s triumph and a new attendance record of 176,451 spectators, the Rolex Paris Masters turns its attention to Paris La Défense Arena, its new venue from 2025.

The Rolex Paris Masters, the ATP Tour’s annual Masters 1000 event in the French capital, is preparing to write a new chapter in its history by moving to Paris La Défense Arena from next year. From 25 October to 2 November 2025, Europe’s largest indoor arena, with its state-of-the-art facilities, will host the 40th edition of the tournament.

This move is part of the French Tennis Federation’s commitment to expand the Rolex Paris Masters and offer an ultra-modern setting for the tournament’s various stakeholders (players, spectators, media, partners...), while continuing to promote the Parisian Masters 1000, considered the most spectacular on the ATP circuit, both in France and abroad. The new venue will make it possible to set up four competition courts, including a centre court with seating capacity for 16,500, and a practice court. The player areas will also be extended, enhanced and modernised.

In its quest to further improve the spectator experience, the FFT and Paris La Défense Arena will provide optimal conditions to welcome guests. In addition to excellent transport links (by RER, metro, tramway, etc.), the venue will enable optimised crowd-flow management, in particular for ticket holders for evening sessions, thanks to its large, covered reception hall with catering areas and giant screens.

To celebrate the start of this new era, the Rolex Paris Masters is pleased to unveil the tournament's new signature: "Vibrons plus grand" (Unleash the vibe). This captures the event's desire to offer an intense experience to fans and players by sharing the kind of powerful emotions that only a major indoor tournament can guarantee.

Before the end of 2024, the organisers will communicate initial ticketing information for the 2025 edition of the Rolex Paris Masters (25 October - 2 November).

“Each edition of the Rolex Paris Masters is eagerly awaited and appreciated by all tennis players and fans. Our ambition is therefore to maintain the identity of our tournament, with a focus on innovation and modernity. I’m convinced that the infrastructure of the ultra-modern Paris La Défense Arena will help us achieve this goal. This move should allow the tournament to reach a new level by offering players and spectators an even better experience. We also want to celebrate the legacy of the tournament and those who have helped build its identity and history", said Cédric Pioline, Director of the Rolex Paris Masters.

“We are delighted to accompany the French Tennis Federation on the road to a new era for this prestigious tournament. Paris La Défense Arena is keen to bring tennis fans up close with the players in its state-of-the-art, highly adaptable setting. The arena has already housed numerous other sporting events and we are convinced tennis fans will embrace this exciting new venue”, said Frédéric Longuépée, CEO of Paris La Défense Arena.
