The draw for the 2026 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells will take place on Monday, 2 March at 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST/11 p.m. GMT). The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Carlos Alcaraz, No. 2 Jannik Sinner and joint-record five-time champion Novak Djokovic will headline a star-studded field at the opening ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, where main-draw play takes place from 4–15 March.

Their rivals chasing success in the California desert include World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, home favourites Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, and defending champion Jack Draper.

Fans in the United States can watch the draw on Tennis Channel 2 and the Tennis Channel App. ATP Tour channels will have all you need to know about the draw shortly after it is complete.

Alcaraz will enter Indian Wells aiming to maintain his perfect record in 2026. The 22-year-old Spaniard is 12-0 for the season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, after lifting trophies at the Australian Open and the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha. Alcaraz is a two-time titlist in Indian Wells, where he triumphed in 2023 and 2024.

His great rival Sinner is chasing his maiden Indian Wells trophy. His best runs at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden came in 2023 and 2024: On both occasions, Sinner fell to eventual champion Alcaraz in the semi-finals, and he arrives in ‘Tennis Paradise’ this year trailing the Spaniard 6-10 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
