WTA Finals 2026 Prize Money

The WTA Finals move to Indian Wells for 2026, and the payout structure is the richest in women's tennis: a participation fee for each of the eight qualifiers, a bonus per win, and more than $5 million for a champion who goes unbeaten — the largest single payout in women's sport.

2026 figures not yet announced. The WTA has not yet released the 2026 WTA Finals prize money — the 2025 table was published on 28 October 2025, and the July 2026 announcement moving the event to Indian Wells carried no figure. The numbers below are the 2025 official table, the most recent published, and this page will be updated the day the 2026 breakdown is announced.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money is the WTA Finals 2026?

The WTA has not announced the 2026 figure yet. The 2025 WTA Finals in Riyadh offered a record $15.5 million, up from $15.25 million in 2024, and the 2026 total for the first Indian Wells edition is expected in late October 2026. This page will be updated as soon as it is published.

How much does the WTA Finals winner get?

It depends on the champion's record. Under the 2025 table an undefeated champion — five wins in five matches — earned $5,235,000, made up of the $340,000 participation fee, three round-robin wins at $355,000 each, a $1,290,000 semifinal win and a $2,540,000 final win. A champion who lost one round-robin match earned $4,880,000.

Do players get paid just for qualifying for the WTA Finals?

Yes. Each of the eight singles qualifiers received a $340,000 participation fee in 2025 regardless of results, and alternates who travelled without playing received $150,000.

How much is each round-robin win worth?

Each round-robin victory earned $355,000 and 200 ranking points in 2025. Winning the semifinal added $1,290,000 and 400 points; winning the final added $2,540,000 and 500 points, for a maximum of 1,500 points.

How much do WTA Finals doubles champions earn?

An undefeated doubles champion team earned $1,139,000 in 2025, per team, from a $142,000 participation fee, $72,000 per round-robin win, $257,000 for the semifinal and $524,000 for the final. The 2025 champions, Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens, went 4–1 and earned $1,067,000.

Why are the 2026 WTA Finals in Indian Wells instead of Riyadh?

On 1 July 2026 the WTA announced that the 2026 Finals would move to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California after its hosting arrangement with the Saudi Tennis Federation ended a year early by mutual agreement. The event runs from 8 to 15 November 2026.

Who won the 2025 WTA Finals?

Elena Rybakina beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-3 7-6(0) in the final, finishing the week 5–0 and collecting $5,235,000 — billed by the WTA as the largest payout in women's sports history.
