WTA Finals Moving to Charlotte in 2027 as U.S. Push Continues
The 2026 WTA Finals will be played at Indian Wells.
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has announced that Charlotte, North Carolina, will host the WTA Finals from 2027 to 2029. The announcement came as the tour moved its headquarters from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Charlotte. The finals will be played at Spectrum Center, the home of the NBA's Hornets, and will utilize the nearby Charlotte Convention Center for additional events.
This decision follows the WTA's premature termination of its three-year agreement with Saudi Arabia due to declining attendance and financial troubles. The move comes as the WTA intensifies its focus on the U.S. market, where it has been seeking to strengthen its presence. The WTA Chair, Valerie Camillo, expressed excitement about the partnership with Charlotte, highlighting the city's ambition and readiness to serve as a "home for the Finals and for the WTA."
