How to Watch the ATP Finals 2026 in Australia

For the first time since 2023, the ATP Finals will crown a champion other than Jannik Sinner, after the two-time defending champion ended his season with knee inflammation.

That leaves Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev as the big names in Turin, with Alex de Minaur waiting as first alternate, and for Australian viewers it means a week of late nights and very early mornings on beIN Sports, starting at 9:30pm AEDT on Sunday, November 15, with no free-to-air coverage.

Here are the key details:

• Event: Nitto ATP Finals 2026
• Venue: Inalpi Arena, Turin, Italy
• Date: Sunday, 15 November 2026 to Sunday, 22 November 2026
• Field: 8 singles players and 8 doubles teams

How to Watch the ATP Finals in Australia

beIN Sports has the Australian rights to the ATP Tour through 2027, and that deal includes the season-ending Finals, so every match from Turin is live on beIN.

You can stream it through the beIN Sports Connect app on your phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV, add beIN Sports Connect as a channel through Amazon Prime Video, or watch on the big screen through Fetch.

There's no free-to-air partner listed for the ATP Tour in Australia, so beIN is the place to watch Turin live.

Who Is Playing at the ATP Finals 2026?

With Sinner out, the eight singles qualifiers are:

• Alexander Zverev (Germany)
• Carlos Alcaraz (Spain)
• Ben Shelton (USA)
• Daniil Medvedev
• Flavio Cobolli (Italy)
• Arthur Fils (France)
• Frances Tiafoe (USA)
• Rafael Jódar (Spain)

Jódar made history by becoming the first man to qualify in the same year as his tour-level debut, and he sealed the last spot without hitting a ball when Taylor Fritz lost to Alcaraz in the Paris quarter-finals.

De Minaur is the first alternate and Fritz the second, so the Aussie would step in if anyone pulls out before or during the week.

The doubles field is led by defending champions Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten.

ATP Finals 2026 Format and What to Watch For

The eight players are split into two groups of four, and everyone plays the other three in their group.

The top two from each group go through to the semi-finals, and every match is the best of three sets with a tie-break in every set. The groups are drawn on Thursday, November 12.

Alcaraz made last year's final and is the obvious headline act now that Sinner is missing, while Zverev, Shelton, and Medvedev all have the serve or the consistency to win group matches on a quick indoor court. Cobolli also gives the Turin crowd a local to get behind.

With the defending champion gone and a group stage that can turn on one bad day, the outright tennis odds for the ATP Finals are worth watching closely once the draw is made and any late withdrawals are confirmed.
