The WTA announced on 16 September that Charlotte will host the season-ending WTA Finals from 2027 through 2029. The leading singles players and doubles teams will compete at Spectrum Center, while the agreement also includes the relocation of the WTA's global headquarters to Charlotte.
A three-year agreement in North Carolina
According to the official WTA announcement, the Finals will be staged in Charlotte for three consecutive seasons beginning in 2027. The tour is working with the city and the State of North Carolina on the event. Spectrum Center is home to the NBA's Charlotte Hornets and gives the tournament a major indoor arena.
Indian Wells is the 2026 bridge host
Indian Wells will stage the 2026 WTA Finals before Charlotte takes over in 2027. The move is wider than the tournament itself: WTA corporate headquarters will also relocate to Charlotte.
The announcement gives the tour's showpiece a multi-year base while opening a new market on the US East Coast. More coverage is available in the BSR tennis section.
