The ATP Finals will be transitioning from Turin starting in 2026, but there is still positive news for Jannik Sinner and tennis fans alike—Italy will continue to host this prestigious tournament. After four successful years in Turin, where the event has flourished, it's exciting to know that the next two Finals will still be held there before the move.
Milan to host ATP finals from 2026
The Arena Santa Giulia in Milan is poised to become a premier venue for sports and entertainment, with a seating capacity of 16,000. While the arena is currently under construction, it is expected to be completed in time for the upcoming Winter Olympics, which will feature events held at this new facility. Following the Olympics, the Arena Santa Giulia will take on the role of the city's main hub for sporting and entertainment events, replacing the Unipol Forum and enhancing the cultural landscape of Milan.
The new venue is anticipated to open at the beginning of 2026, perfectly timed to host the ATP Finals, which will be taking place in Turin at that time. Recent reports indicate that an announcement about this development is expected soon. Furthermore, the Italian Tennis Federation is investing additional funds into the tournament, increasing its budget significantly. The event is set to be held in Milan until 2030, with financial support rising from the current $15 million to as much as $25 million.
The Italian Federation is set to increase its annual contribution to host the event in the country, boosting the amount from $18 million to $30 million. This investment comes at an exciting time in men's tennis, as we approach a transitional period. With Novak Djokovic and other previous champions likely stepping back by then, one can look forward to fresh talents like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz arriving on the scene.
