The first Grand Slam of the year opens the tennis season in the heat of the Australian summer. The Australian Open 2027 runs from 11 to 31 January at Melbourne Park: an Opening Week from 11 January, the main draw from Sunday 17 January, and the finals on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January. More than 1.3 million people visited the precinct in 2026.
The fortnight
The first week is the best time to see many players on the outer courts; the second week builds through the quarter-finals and semi-finals to the women’s and men’s finals on the last weekend. Night sessions on Rod Laver Arena are a Melbourne tradition. Tickets and hospitality are sold only by Tennis Australia and its authorised partners.
Where to stay
Melbourne’s best suites face the river and the park, a short walk or drive from the courts. Families who stay longer often prefer a house in South Yarra or Toorak, or by the sea on the Mornington Peninsula, with a driver for the evenings at the tennis.
The long journey
From Europe, the journey takes more than twenty hours. We plan it in comfort: first-class or private aviation, a night in Dubai, Doha or Singapore on the way, and arrival a few days early so the time difference is behind you before the finals.
Around the tennis
The Yarra Valley vineyards, the Great Ocean Road by helicopter, or a week in Sydney after the final. See our worldwide concierge.
Australian Open 2027: questions
When is the Australian Open 2027?
From 11 to 31 January 2027 at Melbourne Park. Opening Week starts on 11 January, the main draw on Sunday 17 January, and the finals are on 30 and 31 January.
Can you get Australian Open tickets?
No. Tickets and official hospitality are sold by Tennis Australia and its authorised partners. We arrange travel, suites, cars and the days around the tennis.
How long is the journey from Europe to Melbourne?
More than twenty hours of flying. A stopover in the Gulf or Singapore, and arriving a few days early, makes it far more comfortable.
Where should we stay in Melbourne?
Hotels by the river and the park are closest to the courts; a private house in South Yarra or Toorak suits families on a longer stay.
