Two weeks of clay at altitude in the Spanish capital, under a roof that slides shut when the spring weather turns. Here is what each round of the Mutua Madrid Open paid in 2026, why the women's and men's champions took home the same cheque, and how the purse has grown since 2022.

Prize money per round
Madrid Open prize money breakdown per round
In shortThe 2026 champions each received €1,007,165, the runners-up €535,585. A first-round loser in the men's draw took €21,285.
Madrid Open prize money is paid in euros, per player, for the furthest round reached. Both draws have 96 players and eight rounds; the 32 seeds skip the first round, so the bottom line of the table is earned only by unseeded players, qualifiers and wild cards. The ladder below is the ATP's official singles table for the 2026 men's event, with the ranking points beside each round.

Source: ATP Tour prize money release for the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open. The WTA lists the same €1,007,165 for the women's champion and €535,585 for the runner-up.
The steps are the ATP's standard scale for a 96-player Masters paid in euros, which is why Rome's men's table two weeks later was identical to the euro. The runner-up earns 53 percent of the title money, a semifinalist about 30 percent and a quarterfinalist 17 percent. Ranking points follow a different logic because the tours keep their own points tables, so a men's semifinalist earns 400 points and a women's semifinalist 390.

Each row of the ledger is one tour's edition, so a combined event appears once per tour. See the full ledger.
The 2023 bar is the step change, a 14 percent rise in one year, because a bigger draw means more players to pay. Since then the purse has grown by about 2 percent a year. The champion's share moved the opposite way at first, from €1,105,265 in 2023 to €963,225 in 2024, as the ATP shifted money toward the early rounds, before climbing back above €1 million in 2026.
The women's side is reported differently. In 2024 the tournament announced a financial commitment of €7,679,695 per tour, the same for both, and called its champion's cheque that year the largest ever paid by a tennis event in Spain. The WTA's own notes list €8,029,650 for the women's event in 2026, slightly below the men's total, because the two tours count doubles and other items differently.
The Caja Mágica
Madrid Open venue and dates
In shortThe tournament is played at the Caja Mágica in southern Madrid, on clay, with a retractable roof over the main stadium. The 2026 men's event ran April 22 - May 3, 2026.

- Main stadium
- Manolo Santana Stadium, about 12,500 seats (tournament figure)
The Caja Mágica, the "magic box", was designed by the French architect Dominique Perrault and opened for the 2009 edition. Its main stadium sits under a retractable roof, so the headline matches go on when it rains. The altitude affects play more than the roof does, though. At about 650 meters above sea level the ball flies, and players who grind on slow clay in Monte-Carlo often find Madrid closer to a hard court.
Madrid is the second of the three big clay events before Roland Garros. Monte-Carlo comes first and the Italian Open in Rome follows straight after.
