2027 Australian Open Tennis Schedule

As the first grand slam of the year, the matches of the Australian Open are always highly anticipated. So, when is the Australian Open? Check out the provisional schedule below for tournament dates and times to help you decide which sessions you want to witness for your ideal 2027 Australian Open experience.

How do I find out which players are scheduled to play on specific days?

The match schedule is updated daily during the tournament—typically in the evening—on both the official Australian Open website and app. We recommend using one of these two resources for the most up-to-date schedule information.

What happens if it rains at the Australian Open?

The three show courts have retractable roofs, which allow play to continue. That said, closing and reopening the roof may cause short delays. On other courts, rain may result in pausing or rescheduling the match.

Are matches usually on time at the Australian Open?

Start times are approximate, as the duration of preceding matches on the same court can vary significantly. Weather delays and medical timeouts can also affect the match length, which may delay subsequent start times. Most of the matches at the Australian Open are listed as “not before” a certain time, meaning the match won’t start earlier than that time, though they may start later due to the factors mentioned above.

Other notes about the Australian Open Schedule

• The first matches of the day will be the most reliable in terms of scheduling, those later in the day have an increased chance of starting late.
• The Australian Open schedule is subject to change without notice. Even court assignments may change right up until the start of the match. The official Australian Open app will have the most current schedule information.
• Summer in Melbourne can be quite hot. Matches may be delayed or moved to an earlier start time to avoid the hottest part of the day. In addition, extra or extended breaks may be added to give players some relief from the heat.
