In 2026, the historic Marx Halle in the 3rd district will once again transform into an immersive tennis experience during the Erste Bank Open. For those who want to experience the stars up close, this is the place to be.

World-Class Tennis on Two Match Courts

Fans will be treated to top-level tennis on both match courts – in both singles and doubles. Seating is close to the court, the view of the players is direct, and the atmosphere is palpable. This year's field boasts no fewer than five players from the Top 10.

Diverse Program

Between matches, the hall becomes a playground for all ages: Padel, mini-tennis, DJs, and a wide culinary offering ensure variety. On National Holiday, October 26, the court will belong to kids for two hours during the spark7 Next Gen Day powered by Stadt Wien, allowing them to feel like real tennis pros and hit balls on an official ATP Tour court.

Watch Training Sessions

On the two practice courts, fans can watch the stars train; last year, Alexander Zverev, among others, could be experienced up close here. In the #glaubandich Fans & Players Zone, fans can get autographs and take selfies with the stars. Information on who trains when and on which court will be published on erstebank-open.com starting at the beginning of the tournament.

Wheelchair Tennis

Last year, the wheelchair tennis tournament, featuring Nico Langmann and top international players, was part of the Erste Bank Open for the first time – live in Marx Halle. A highlight that shows: tennis is for everyone. This year, the field grows from six to eight players, with matches taking place from October 29 to 31. Tickets for wheelchair users are free for eligible visitors – powered by win2day.
