🎾 RAFA NADAL OPEN BY MOVISTAR 2026

📅 31 August to 6 September 2026

🕐 Monday and Tuesday from 10.00 am · Wednesday to Saturday from 1.00 pm · singles final on Sunday at 6.30 pm

📍 Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, Manacor

🎟️ Free entry, ticket to be downloaded from the official tournament website

🏆 What is at stake

The ATP Challenger Tour is the tier just below the main circuit: the place where rising youngsters meet former top-100 players trying to work their way back.

The result is a tournament with a very high standard and something the big events no longer offer: closeness. You watch the tennis from just a few metres away, with no huge stands in between.

🏟️ The academy as a venue

The Rafa Nadal Academy is more than a tennis club: it is an international high-performance centre in Nadal's home town. During tournament week it opens its courts to the public and fills up with families, fans and curious visitors.

Alongside the competition there is a parallel programme of food, live music and family activities.

🖼️ Rafa Nadal Museum

Anyone who downloads a tournament ticket can visit the newly refurbished Rafa Nadal Museum Xperience for a special price of 14 euros: trophies, sporting memorabilia and interactive experiences.

ℹ️ Good to know: entry is free but the ticket must be downloaded in advance. Arrive early and bring a cap, water and sun protection, as much of the day is played under the late-August sun.

✨ Top-level tennis, free of charge, half an hour from almost anywhere in Mallorca. Few September plans are this good value.
