Tickets went on sale Tuesday for the 2026 Cerity Partners Hall of Fame Open, the combined ATP Challenger and WTA 125 grass-court tournament returning to the International Tennis Hall of Fame July 5-12.

This year’s event, presented by The MARGARET Fund, will offer $225,000 in equal prize money — a $25,000 increase from 2025 — and remains the only grass-court stop outside Europe on either tour. It also marks the debut of Cerity Partners as title sponsor.

“Opening ticket sales for the Cerity Partners Hall of Fame Open marks the start of a landmark year for Newport,” ITHF Chief Operating Officer and Tournament Director Brewer Rowe said. “By bringing together the rising stars of the ATP Challenger and WTA Tours on our historic grass courts, we’re offering fans a front-row seat to the future of the game. We can’t wait to welcome the New England community back for a summer tradition that truly has no equal.”

Single-session tickets start at $34 for adults. Series tickets, which include the same seat for all seven days of play, start at $402. All ticket holders receive unlimited access to the newly renovated museum and entry to the tournament’s fan village, where Wimbledon matches will be shown throughout the week.

Fans can also upgrade with the 1881 Club — named for the year the Newport Casino, which houses the Hall of Fame, opened. The club offers complimentary food and beverage and shaded views of the Horseshoe Piazza. Daily access starts at $200 and is available from Monday, July 6 through Thursday, July 9.

Tickets are available at ceritypartnershalloffameopen.com through Tixr, the official ticketing partner of the ITHF, or by calling the tournament box office at 401-849-6053.
