The ATP has introduced its first official fantasy game, created with technology firm Deltatre, giving tennis fans a new way to follow the season and compete for prizes. The launch was announced on March 30, 2026.
Introducing ATP Fantasy: A New Era for Tennis Fans
Called ATP Fantasy, the game asks participants to act like team coaches. Players build an eight-man roster under a 100-credit cap, with six starters and two alternates. Prices are tied to the PIF ATP Live Rankings. At launch, Carlos Alcaraz is listed at 40 credits, Jannik Sinner at 36, Alexander Zverev at 33, and Novak Djokovic at 30.
Points are awarded based on results throughout the ATP Tour calendar, factoring in rounds reached and tournament categories. Extra bonuses and penalties apply for on-court stats and milestones, including aces, double faults, straight-set wins, 6-0 sets, and upsets.
The 2026 fantasy season runs from April to November across 23 tournament weeks, opening at the Monte-Carlo Masters and ending at the Paris Masters. Most tournament weeks last one week and can feature multiple events, while ATP Masters 1000s and the Grand Slams are standalone and span two weeks.
The competition is organized around four swings, each with its own leaderboard and prizes: Clay Season, Grass Season, North American Hard Court, and the Race to the Nitto ATP Finals.
Dominic Thiem, a 16-time tour-level champion and former world No. 3, will serve as the game’s Official Fantasy Coach, sharing weekly picks and guidance. Tennis creators and broadcasters, including Tennis TV, Tennis Channel, and Sky Sports, will support the rollout with content and by hosting their own leagues.
Fans can join private leagues with friends and family while also competing on monthly, swing, and overall leaderboards. Prizes range from partner and ATP Store merchandise to tickets for select 2027 ATP Tour events. The overall champion will receive two tickets to two sessions of the 2027 Nitto ATP Finals, along with flights and accommodation.
ATP executives described fantasy sports as a proven way to strengthen fan involvement and said the game is designed to connect supporters with players and tournaments across the year. Deltatre characterized the project as a direct-to-consumer effort that blends content, data, technology, and community to reach new audiences.
The rollout is part of the ATP’s broader push to grow its younger fan base. Recent initiatives include content partnerships with TikTok, Spotify, and Overtime, a global marketing campaign titled “It All Adds Up” developed by Wieden & Kennedy, the Athlete Arrivals fashion initiative, and a refreshed brand identity.
