BNP Paribas Open 2027: confirmed dates and key rounds

The 2027 tournament runs February 28–March 14 at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The official tournament calendar lists qualifying February 28–March 2, first-round matches March 3–4, second round March 5–6, middle-round play the following week and championship weekend March 13–14. Use the exact session on your ticket as your authority for entry and court access.

Choose a hotel area by how you'll spend the trip

• Indian Wells: Start here when staying near the Tennis Garden is your first priority. Browse hotels near the Tennis Garden. Check the address and the current transport plan for the exact hotel.
• La Quinta: An eastern-valley resort base for travelers combining tennis with golf or resort time. The venue itself remains in Indian Wells; La Quinta is a separate city.
• Palm Desert: Useful for El Paseo dining and shopping alongside tennis. Compare Palm Desert hotel options.
• Palm Springs: The best fit when nightlife, design hotels and downtown restaurants matter as much as the tennis. Budget extra travel time for the cross-valley journey.

Before you buy tickets

Check whether you are purchasing a reserved Stadium 1 session or another ticket product, and what additional courts it permits. Confirm permitted bags, parking and rideshare instructions on the tournament FAQ. If you are attending multiple days, compare individual sessions with packages; booking a hotel room alone does not supply tournament tickets.

Compare the hotel options after choosing sessions

The Indian Wells hotel comparison helps narrow resort choices; La Quinta hotels offer another nearby city to consider. Use the Tennis Garden hotel guide for proximity and transport questions. Match arrival and departure nights to the sessions you actually bought.
