Watch WTA Finals 2026 live streams, as the eight best women in tennis over the past 12 months descend on Indian Wells, California, for the prestigious end-of-year championships. In arguably the unofficial fifth major, there will be two groups of four, with the top two progressing to the semi-finals. World No.1 Elena Rybakina is defending champion and heavy favorite.
Rybakina has enjoyed a bravura year – not only has the 27-year-old Kazakh won more titles and reached more finals than any other player on tour, she is also the reigning Australian and US Open champion after beating Aryna Sabalenka in both finals. The Belarusian, who won Indian Wells on these courts back in March, also lost her world No.1 crown to Rybakina and will want a measure of revenge in California.
The other two major winners of 2026 have also made it to the Finals. Mirra Andreeva, still only 19, won her first grand slam title at the French Open in her breakthrough year, while Linda Noskova won the all-Czech battle in the Wimbledon final against Karolina Muchova, who has also qualified for Indian Wells.
Also in the mix are American pair Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, who meet on the opening day in Group 1, and 2018 champion Elina Svitolina, who has shot back up the rankings in 2026.
