The Washington Open, recognised as the Mubadala Citi DC Open for sponsorship reasons, is the only combined ATP-WTA 500 level tennis tournament in the world.
Taking place at the end of July, the tournament marks the commencement of the North American hard-court swing ahead of the final Grand Slam of the season, the US Open.
Some of the world's best players have triumphed at the William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center, including Coco Gauff, Andre Agassi and Jannik Sinner.
The Washington Open was first held on the men's tour in 1969 before the first women's event was staged in 2011, with the ATP and WTA deciding to merge from the 2012 season onwards.
The total prize money pot for the 2026 men’s event in Washington is $2,469,450, with the winner of the men's singles collecting a cheque of $461,835.
There is a significant increase in earnings for competitors on the WTA Tour compared to the previous year. Leylah Fernandez earned $197,570 when she won the title in 2025, but in 2026 the winner will pocket $252,000.
The total prize fund for the WTA is a 27% increase from the previous year, climbing from $1,282,951 to $1,637,982.
