The 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters will run from Sept 29 to Oct 12, coinciding with both the National Day holiday and Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year's tournament marks the return of the 24-time Grand Slam champion and four-time Shanghai winner Novak Djokovic. If you are planning to attend, here is everything you need to know about tickets and the event.

Tickets

Official ticketing channels: Juss Sports app and its mini program on WeChat or Alipay.

Notes:

• This year, tickets for Grand Stand 2 will be sold separately from Center Court.
• For Oct 7 to 12, outside-court tickets will be released at 12 pm the day before play and will remain on sale until one hour before gates open, though sales may be suspended in case of rain.
• The qualifying rounds (Sept 29 to 30), the final four days (Oct 9 to 12), as well as tickets for Grand Stand 2 and the outside courts, are valid for the full day without division into day and night sessions. On all other dates, Center Court tickets are split into day and night sessions.
• Regardless of which ticket you hold, you may enter the venue once the gates open for that day.

Gates & Matches

Reminder 1

Entry to Center Court follows stricter rules. Night sessions start at 6:30 pm at the earliest, with entry permitted only one hour before play. If a day session extends into the evening, please wait until the venue is cleared and follow staff instructions before entering. Re-entry is allowed throughout the day, giving you the flexibility to come and go as you wish.

Reminder 2

The match schedule above is for reference only and subject to change. In case of rain, play at Center Court and Grand Stand 2 will pause and resume once the roofs are closed, while outdoor matches may be adjusted. Please stay updated through the venue's big screens, the official "Rolex Shanghai Masters" WeChat account, SMS notifications, or the on-site information desks for the latest announcements.
