Where is the Rolex Paris Masters played?<\/p>\n

Since 2025, the tournament has been held at the arena in Paris La D\u00e9fense, after 39 editions at Bercy (1986\u20132024). The venue was renamed Plenitude Arena in July 2026 (Visit Paris Region<\/a>), so you will still see it called \u201cParis La D\u00e9fense Arena\u201d on many maps, apps and booking sites. It is the same building.<\/p>\n

Address: Plenitude Arena, 99 Jardins de l\u2019Arche, 92000 Nanterre<\/p>\n

Capacity: around 17,500 seats on Centre Court for the tournament<\/p>\n

Courts: five in total (four competition courts and one practice court)<\/p>\n

Surface: resin on wood (GreenSet), indoor<\/p>\n

The move has been a box-office success: attendance rose from 175,000 spectators in 2024 to a record 220,000 in 2025, according to the tournament\u2019s 2026 press kit. \u201c2026 will be the year that confirms the move\u2019s success,\u201d says tournament director C\u00e9dric Pioline<\/a>.<\/p>\n
