The Grand Slams are, year after year, the biggest stage possible for any tennis player. Not only for prestige but also because they represent the significant economic jump of the season. Reaching far in one of these tournaments can completely change the schedule for many players, from the big stars to those fighting to establish themselves on the circuit. Roland Garros 2026, as the second major of the season, will be no exception.

The Parisian edition has confirmed a total prize money of 61,723,000 euros, the highest figure in the entire history of the tournament. The increase is 9.53% compared to 2025, when 56,352,000 euros were distributed, and it consolidates the growth trend that the French major has been experiencing in recent years.

More money for the qualifiers and early rounds

One of the most important aspects of the distribution is once again the support for the players in most need. Roland Garros has decided to further strengthen the qualifying rounds, a true breath of fresh air for those who need to finance trips, coaches, physios, and structure throughout the season. The qualifiers increase by 12.9%, while the main draw rises by 10.1% compared to 2025. 

This means that a first-round loss nets 87,000 euros, a huge amount for many players outside the top 100 or even for wildcards. Even more striking is the prize for the qualifiers: 24,000 euros for falling in the first round of qualifying, a crucial aid for many profiles living on the economic edge of the circuit.

Full breakdown of the prize money by round

Men's and Women's Singles:

• Q1: 24,000 €
• Q2: 33,000 €
• Q3: 48,000 €
• First round: 87,000 €
• Second round: 130,000 €
• Third round: 187,000 €
• Round of 16: 285,000 €
• Quarterfinals: 470,000 €
• Semifinals: 750,000 €
• Runner-up: 1,400,000 €
• Champion: 2,800,000 €

The winner of the Musketeers’ Cup or the Suzanne Lenglen Trophy will pocket 2.8 million euros, surpassing the 2.55 million that Carlos Alcaraz took home last year for conquering Paris. 

Doubles, mixed, and wheelchair tennis also see growth

The tournament has not forgotten the other draws. The prizes in men's, women's, and mixed doubles increase by 3.9%, while the amount allocated to wheelchair and quad tennis reaches 1,018,500 euros, a growth of 14.55%, the highest in all categories.

In an increasingly demanding circuit both logistically and economically, the 87,000 euros for reaching the main draw and the 24,000 from qualifying can make the difference between continuing to travel with their own team or having to cut back on structure. This is likely the great news behind the historic prize money of Roland Garros 2026.
