How to Watch the Rolex Paris Masters in Australia

The last Masters 1000 of the year starts in Paris on 2 November, and beIN Sports has it live in Australia with Alex de Minaur chasing a place in Turin.

Jannik Sinner won't defend his Paris title, and with the last Race to Turin points of the year up for grabs, this week has plenty riding on it for Alex de Minaur.

The Rolex Paris Masters runs from Monday 2 November to Sunday 8 November at Plenitude Arena (formerly Paris La Défense Arena), with qualifying starting on Saturday 31 October.

In Australia the tournament is shown on beIN Sports, which holds the rights to every ATP Masters 1000 event, and because Paris is ten hours behind the east coast, most of the big matches land late at night or before breakfast.

It's the 54th edition of the event and the last Masters 1000 of 2026, played indoors on a hard court in front of up to 15,000 fans. 

Sinner beat Félix Auger-Aliassime in last year's final, but the world No.1 ended his season in early October with a right knee injury, which leaves the trophy wide open.

Paris Masters Start Times in Australia

Play generally starts at 11:00am in Paris from Monday to Thursday, which is 9:00pm AEDT on the same day, and the evening session on Centre Court gets going no earlier than 7:00pm local time, so the headline night match usually starts from 5:00am AEDT the following morning.

• First round to round of 16 (Monday, November 2 to Thursday 5): day play from 9:00pm AEDT, night session from 5:00am AEDT the next morning.
• Quarter-finals (Friday, November 6 in Paris): from midnight AEDT Friday night into Saturday, November 7, with the night quarter-finals from 5:00am AEDT Saturday.
• Semi-finals (Saturday, November 7 in Paris): first semi-final from 12:30am AEDT Sunday, November 8 second semi-final no earlier than 3:00am AEDT.
• Final (Sunday, November 8 in Paris): 1:00am AEDT Monday, November 9.

If you're outside the eastern states, adjust from AEDT: Brisbane is an hour earlier, Adelaide half an hour earlier, Darwin an hour and a half earlier and Perth three hours earlier.

That makes the final a far friendlier 10:00pm Sunday night in Perth and midnight in Brisbane. The schedule is still provisional, and order of play is confirmed the evening before each day.

How to Watch the Paris Masters on beIN Sports

beIN Sports renewed its exclusive Australian ATP Tour deal in late 2024, covering all nine Masters 1000 events, the ATP 500 tournaments and the ATP Finals through to the end of 2027, so Paris sits with the same broadcaster that showed Shanghai and the rest of the Masters swing.

You can stream it through the beIN Sports Connect app on phones, tablets, smart TVs and in a web browser, and beIN is also available as a channel add-on through Amazon Prime Video and Fetch TV.

With matches spread across several courts in the early rounds, the streaming app is the easiest way to follow more than one court at a time.

If the hard-court swing has you hooked, our Indian Wells predictions are a handy read for another big event on the same surface.

A week after the Paris final, the ATP Finals get underway in Turin from November 15 to 22 also on beIN, so one subscription gets you through to the end of the men's season.

Alex de Minaur and the Race to Turin

Paris is the last tournament that counts towards the Race to Turin, which is why this week matters so much more than an ordinary Masters event.

Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton had already locked in their places by October 20, and Sinner's withdrawal opened up a ninth position in the race, leaving a handful of players fighting over the last five spots.

De Minaur arrived at that point sitting 10th, 279 points behind Rafael Jódar in the last qualifying spot and just 40 clear of Novak Djokovic, and he's chasing a third straight appearance at the ATP Finals.

He's playing in Vienna this week and came through a tough first-round match against Tomáš Macháč, so how far he goes there will decide whether he lands in Paris inside the qualifying places or needing a deep run to get there.

Djokovic is in the same boat with a wild card into Basel, and Flavio Cobolli, Daniil Medvedev and Arthur Fils are also juggling Vienna, Basel and Paris on back-to-back weeks.

That's a lot of tired legs heading into an indoor event where the courts tend to reward big serving and short points. For more on the late-season calendar and the big-name fields, the Six Kings Slam schedule is worth a look too.

Who Can Win the Paris Masters Without Sinner

With Sinner out, Zverev and Alcaraz are the two names at the top of the draw.

Zverev leads the Race to Turin and knows how to win this event, having lifted the trophy in 2024, while Alcaraz has the higher ceiling on any surface but has historically found the quick indoor courts in Paris less comfortable than the outdoor swing.

Shelton's serve makes him dangerous under a roof, and Auger-Aliassime will be looking to go one better than last year's final. João Fonseca is also missing, having called time on his season through injury on October 17.
