The 2025 season has just begun, but ATP has already announced next year's calendar. There are no particular changes or revolutions to report, waiting for Saudi Arabia not to definitively enter the calendar by hosting a Masters 1000 (perhaps starting in 2027).

The number of tournaments is reduced from 60 to 59, to which must be added the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin and the Next Gen Finals in Jeddah just before Christmas.
The most significant news is the return to the Estoril calendar, scheduled on the Portuguese red clay, which will be played in July (no longer in April). The Marseille ATP 250 has been moved from February to October and the Stockholm ATP 250 will be held in November instead of October. In 2026, there will no longer be the Metz tournament.
No revolution in 2026
In total, there will be 16 ATP 500 and 29 ATP 250 tournaments, in addition to the nine Masters 1000, seven of which will have the extended format lasting 12 days. The only two exceptions will be the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and Paris-Bercy.

As has been announced for some time, the last Masters 1000 of the season will move to 'La Defense Arena' but this was not enough to guarantee the extension of the duration of the tournament (which will last seven days with a 56-player draw).
Before the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin there are two 250 tournaments, a choice that certainly causes discussion because it could affect the qualification for the 'Masters'. An already defined venue is that of Stockholm, while the other tournament has not yet been assigned.
Currently, the license belongs to Belgrade, but it cannot be ruled out that there will be changes.
The ATP Finals will take place from November 15-22, before the Davis Cup Finals.
The Next Gen ATP Finals will be played in Saudi Arabia in December, but the official date has not yet been made official (not even for the 2025 edition).

A calendar that does not present significant changes compared to what we are used to, waiting for a probable revolution starting in 2027.
