The draw for the 2026 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells will take place on Monday, March 2 at 3:00 PM PST (6:00 PM EST/11:00 PM GMT). No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Carlos Alcaraz, No. 2 Jannik Sinner and five-time record champion Novak Djokovic will headline a star-studded court at the ATP Masters 1000 opening event of the season, where the main draw takes place from March 4 to 15.

Their rivals chasing success in the California desert include world No. 3 Alexander Zverev, home favorites 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 cover everything you need to know about the draw shortly after it is completed.

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

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

Meanwhile, Djokovic will look to bounce back quickly from his Australian Open final defeat to Alcaraz with a strong performance in Indian Wells. The 38-year-old is looking for a sixth BNP Paribas Open crown to overtake Roger Federer for the most men’s singles titles won in the California desert.
