2026 Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge

The wild cards will be granted to the American players who earn the most ranking points—including qualifying and main-draw points—at a maximum of three clay-court tournaments during the five-week window. All red clay and Har-Tru events at the W35 level and above for the women and the M25 level and above for the men, including WTA and ATP Tour events, will be included in the Challenge.

Americans who otherwise earn direct entry into the French Open, or those who have a protected ranking with which to enter the main draw, are not eligible. Should the player with the highest number of challenge points earn direct entry into the French Open, the wild card will go to the next eligible American in the Challenge points standings. In the event of a tie, the player with the best ATP or WTA singles ranking on Monday, May 4, will earn the wild card.

The USTA and FFT have a reciprocal agreement in which main draw wild cards for the 2026 French Open and US Open will be exchanged. The USTA utilizes this Challenge format to award wild cards into the Australian, French and US Opens.
