1 · The short answer

Roland-Garros 2027, the French Open, runs from 17 May to 6 June at Stade Roland-Garros on the western edge of Paris. Opening Week with qualifying is 17 to 21 May, the main draw starts on Sunday 23 May, and the singles finals are on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 June.

Tickets live on your phone, the Metro takes you to the gate and the order of play changes with the weather, so mobile data matters. Ringo Light's France plan covers Paris and the whole of France with unlimited data at full speed; it arrives by email and installs in one scan.

2 · Getting to Porte d'Auteuil

Paris has two main airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, both linked to the city by RER train. For the tennis, take Metro line 10 to Porte d'Auteuil, the closest station, or line 9 to Michel-Ange Molitor or Porte de Saint-Cloud. All three are a short walk from the gates, and on busy days the walk from line 9 is often quicker than squeezing through Porte d'Auteuil.

The RATP and Bonjour RATP apps show live Metro times and let you buy tickets on your phone. Load a ticket before you set off, while you have Wi-Fi and a calm moment.

3 · Tickets and the official app

  • ✓Official ticketing. Tickets are sold by the French Tennis Federation on the official Roland-Garros ticketing site, with an official resale platform for returns. Avoid unofficial sellers: tickets are nominative.
  • ✓E-tickets. Your tickets appear in the official Roland-Garros app or as a PDF. Open them once at the hotel so they are stored on the phone before you reach the gate.
  • ✓Order of play. Scores, court assignments and the order of play are in the app. Rain moves matches between courts, so check it before you walk across the grounds.
  • ✓Paying. Cards and phone wallets are widely accepted inside the grounds and across Paris.

4 · Signal around Philippe-Chatrier

On a sunny day in the first week, the grounds are full and the outside courts are packed shoulder to shoulder. That many phones on the same cells slows uploads first. Your scores will refresh, but a long video from Court Simonne-Mathieu may wait until you are on the Metro home.

Download your ticket and the grounds map, set photos to send later, and agree a meeting point with your group, such as the big screen or a gate, before you go separate ways.

5 · Queueing tips

Gates open well before play, and the security lines at the main entrances build quickly after that. Arrive early in the first week if you have a grounds pass and want a seat on the outside courts. Opening Week, with qualifying, is quieter and a good way to see the venue without the crowds.

6 · Paris around the tennis

Right next to the stadium, the Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil has 19th century greenhouses and is free. The Bois de Boulogne is next door for a walk or a run. In the evenings, Paris itself is the reward: the Eiffel Tower is a few Metro stops away, and the Louvre and the Seine banks are close by. Versailles is a half day trip on the RER C.

7 · Around Roland-Garros

The stadium sits in the 16th arrondissement, with the rest of Paris a short Metro ride away.
