6 Kings Slam Tickets

6 Kings Slam Tickets give access to the richest tournament in the history of tennis. Six of the finest players in tennis are invited to compete in an exciting knockout competition that will take place over three nights: Wednesday 21 October, Thursday 22 October and Saturday 24 October 2026 in the ANB Arena, Riyadh, for a prize fund of US$13.5 million.

Defending two-time champion Jannik Sinner will once again lead the field of six, joined by Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and newcomer Alex de Minaur. The victor wins US$6 million — more than the winner of any Grand Slam tournament. 6 Kings Slam Tickets are sold for all three nights with authentic tickets and secure buyers' guarantee.

6 Kings Slam Details

The 6 Kings Slam — or Six Kings Slam, as it is officially named — is an invitation-only exhibition held as part of Riyadh Season, the annual sporting and entertainment festival in Saudi Arabia. Introduced in 2024, the tournament is the highest-paying event in tennis and features one of the smallest and most select fields in the history of the sport.

There are only six players on the invite list. There is no qualifying process or draw — the seedings are set, but there is no way to play your way in, which is evident from the absence of multiple top-ten players from the tournament.

An important point to make before purchasing: this is not an ATP-recognised tournament. No points are awarded and the result does not appear in the official head-to-head records. But you still have the chance to see six of the world's best players play each other in an arena for three nights — something that no non-Grand Slam ranking tournament can provide.

6 Kings Slam 2026 Schedule

The break between Day 2 and Day 3 is necessary because of ATP rules which don't allow a player to compete on three consecutive days in an exhibition. Thus, the 6 Kings Slam is held over four days, with Friday 23 October being used as a rest day.

6 Kings Slam Competition Structure

The six-player event uses a straight knockout system. The top two seeds get a bye to the semi-finals, while the other four compete in the first round on Day 1.

The consequence is that the first evening consists of two quarter-finals, the second consists of two semi-finals, and the final evening features both the third-place match and final. Each session is a full programme and not just one match.

The matches are played indoors on hard courts inside the ANB Arena, which has hosted the 6 Kings Slam since 2025.

6 Kings Slam History

The tournament began in October 2024 and was notable for its prize money. Everyone gets a guaranteed US$1.5 million, and then the winner gets another US$4.5 million — a US$6 million cheque which is more than the champion of any Grand Slam receives.

The 2024 tournament was won by Sinner, who beat Alcaraz in the final. It also marked the final competitive appearance of Rafael Nadal, who was defeated by Djokovic in the third-place match before retiring.

Sinner won again in 2025, defeating Alcaraz in the final for the second straight year. Now he has made over US$12 million in prize money from just two appearances, and he's trying to become the first player to win three straight.

The 2026 Field

Six players, and they have over 30 Grand Slam singles titles combined:

• Jannik Sinner – two-time defending champion, the overwhelming favourite, and looking to make it three in a row
• Carlos Alcaraz – the runner-up in 2024 and 2025, and probably the only one who can stop Sinner from doing it
• Novak Djokovic – the most accomplished player in the field, playing his third edition
• Alexander Zverev – a returning member of last year's field
• Taylor Fritz – playing for the third time
• Alex de Minaur – making his debut, taking the place occupied by Stefanos Tsitsipas in 2025

The draw is compelling. A Grand Slam spreads 128 players across two weeks and 20 courts. This is six of the best in the world all in one venue, three nights, no early rounds, no qualifiers, no fillers. And what better pair to watch than the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry? Those two played each other in both previous editions of this tournament and have met several times on the Grand Slam stage too, so a third meeting would be the biggest match-up on the exhibition circuit.

The ANB Arena is part of the larger Riyadh Season infrastructure, and it's an indoor venue designed to host big events. There are concerts and boxing matches, football matches and various other sports throughout the winter. So if you are coming for the tennis, there is plenty more to see and do.

The event will also be streamed by Netflix live all over the world at no extra cost to subscribers, and there are over 20 different camera angles including wirecams and drone footage. That means it's a great show — and also means the reason to attend is to experience it, rather than to simply watch it.

Buy Official 6 Kings Slam Tickets With Confidence

All listings are vetted before they go online and we hold your payment in escrow until your tickets are confirmed as delivered. If a seller doesn't send your tickets, if the tickets aren't as described, or if a session gets cancelled, Buyer Protection has you covered.

But there are some inherent risks to buying exhibition tickets that you'd never have buying tickets for a ranking tournament. Participation in the tournament is by invitation only, not based on any qualifying criteria, and it is possible for a player to withdraw at the last minute — if he picks up an injury, for example, he might not travel — without any requirement on the part of the promoters to ensure a suitable replacement. Buy tickets for the event, not a particular player.

Official tickets are available via the Riyadh Season website, which is geared primarily towards the Saudi Arabian and regional markets, and necessitates registration. For overseas purchasers, an approved secondary ticketing site removes that obstacle.

And don't forget that you'll also need to make travel arrangements to get to Saudi Arabia. Visa rules differ widely depending on your nationality, so check those well ahead of time.

6 Kings Slam Ticket Prices

Ticket prices reflect the prestige of the event and the strength of the field rather than the duration of the tournament.

Prices are highest for courtside tickets in the lower bowl, and even higher for the various hospitality packages. Upper bowl tickets are fairly steep too, although not unreasonably so given that the ANB Arena is quite small and visibility is good from everywhere.

There is one quirk to ticket pricing, and that is the differing costs of the three sessions. The first night of quarter-final action is the cheapest, with semi-finals costing more, and the final on 24 October commanding the highest price. As noted earlier, there is an additional match in the final session, for third place, alongside a showdown between two of the best players in the game.

Demand is concentrated on the closing night. With the same two finalists in each of the previous two editions, expectations of another Sinner and Alcaraz meeting keep prices for the final high from the moment tickets are released.

When to Buy 6 Kings Slam Tickets

With only eight weeks until the start of the event and the field already announced in July, there is no need to wait for the draw to be made or to see who qualifies for the tournament.

For the final on 24 October, purchase tickets as soon as they are made available. That is the session that sells out first, and there are only six players competing, and no qualification tournament, so there is little chance of an influx of tickets closer to the event.

For the opening night on 21 October, you have a little more flexibility. With two quarter-finals featuring four of the world's best players, it is certainly worth going if the final doesn't appeal. And it is the cheapest of the three sessions.

A word of warning: the tournament falls squarely between the Asian swing and the indoor European season. Many of these players will compete at the Rolex Paris Masters and Nitto ATP Finals in the following weeks, so it could affect how they perform in this tournament, and how likely they are to travel.

Latest 6 Kings Slam News

Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, revealed the third edition of the tournament alongside Netflix, along with a field of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur.

De Minaur is the only new player, taking the place occupied by Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2025 field. Sinner is the only player to have won the tournament twice in its brief existence, having defeated Alcaraz in each final.

It's on 21, 22 and 24 October at the ANB Arena, with 23 October left as a rest day, due to ATP rules forbidding players from playing three consecutive days in an exhibition. For the second year running, Netflix is broadcasting all three nights live globally.

There's US$13.5 million up for grabs, with US$1.5 million being paid out to each player and US$6 million to the champion.
