Mallorca Championships 2026 Tickets and Attending Guide
The Vanda Pharmaceuticals Mallorca Championships runs from 20 to 27 June 2026 at the Mallorca Country Club in Santa Ponsa — the only ATP grass court tournament in southern Europe and one of the better afternoons you can spend as a resident of the southwest in June. If you have not been before, it is worth understanding how tickets work, what the venue is like on the day, and how to get there without the parking situation turning your afternoon into something to forget. This is a practical guide to attending the 2026 tournament.
The Tournament in Brief
The Mallorca Championships is an ATP 250 event played on grass, a surface used by only a handful of tournaments on the professional calendar and generally associated with Wimbledon, which follows immediately after. That timing is deliberate — players who intend to compete at Wimbledon use the week in Santa Ponsa as preparation on grass, which means the field consistently includes players who are serious rather than simply available. The 2026 edition has confirmed Alexander Bublik, Nick Kyrgios, defending champion Tallon Griekspoor, Frances Tiafoe and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The tournament is directed by Toni Nadal, Rafael's uncle and long-time coach, and has been a fixture of the Mallorca sporting calendar since its founding in 1976.
For residents of Santa Ponsa, Nova Santa Ponsa and the surrounding urbanisations, the Mallorca Country Club is a venue they will know — it sits at the top end of Santa Ponsa, accessible in a few minutes by car from most parts of the town. For residents of Palmanova, Portals Nous and other southwest communities, it is a 10 to 20 minute drive depending on where you are coming from. The grass courts at the country club are not a large stadium environment — they are close, with good sightlines from most positions, and the atmosphere is substantially better than what you would experience watching the same players on a screen.
Thinking about buying or selling in Mallorca?
Tickets — Where to Buy and Prices
Official Mallorca Championships 2026 tickets are available through two channels: the official online shop at ticket-onlineshop.com and entradas.com. Tickets can also be purchased on-site at the Mallorca Country Club, with box office sales available Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 16:00. The tournament organisers are explicit about third-party platforms: they strongly advise against buying from Viagogo, Global Tickets or similar secondary market sites, noting that tickets purchased there are frequently overpriced and that the organisers cannot guarantee their validity. Buy direct.
The ticket categories for 2026 run from standard daily grounds passes through to VIP experiences. The VIP Superior Experience is priced at 339 euros and the VIP Front Row Experience at 290 euros. Standard category tickets are more accessible — the full price breakdown is on the official website at mallorcachampionships.com/en/entradas/precios. All tickets purchased online carry a 2 euro administration fee. Tickets bought on-site at the box office carry an additional 1 euro charge. Children under six have free access to the venue provided they do not occupy a seat.
The schedule is not fixed far in advance. Player schedules are confirmed closer to the tournament, and individual match times are announced day by day. Daily grounds passes give you access to all courts, so you can move between matches rather than being committed to one.
What to Expect on the Day
The Mallorca Country Club is a relaxed venue by ATP standards. The main centre court has covered seating, but shade varies depending on the time of day — morning sessions tend to have better coverage than afternoon ones. A hat, sunscreen and water are not optional in late June in Mallorca; the sun is high and the heat is real. Plan accordingly.
The grass courts play fast, which is part of what makes the tournament worth watching in person. Rallies are shorter than on clay, serve-and-volley exchanges happen, and the quality of shot-making under those conditions is a different kind of tennis from what most spectators see at most events. The field at the Mallorca Championships consistently includes players in form — a Wimbledon preparation week with a competitive field does not attract players going through the motions.
Mobile phones and personal cameras are permitted. Recording matches is allowed within reasonable personal limits — professional equipment and tripods are not permitted without accreditation. Pets are not allowed on site. Re-entry during the day is possible if you need to leave and come back.
Getting There
The Mallorca Country Club is at Carrer Golf de Santa Ponsa, at the upper end of Santa Ponsa. There is on-site parking, though it fills up for the more popular sessions. Residents of Santa Ponsa and the immediate area can drive early and park without difficulty. For those coming from further afield — Palmanova, Portals Nous, Palma — a taxi is the more reliable option for busy sessions: it removes the parking variable entirely and the fare from most southwest locations is 15 to 30 euros each way.
Public buses connect Santa Ponsa with Palma and surrounding towns on routes 104, 105, 106 and 107. The country club is at the upper end of town however, and the walk from the main Santa Ponsa bus stops is not short. For a full day at the tournament the car or taxi is the practical choice.
VIP and Group Options
The VIP experiences at the 2026 Championships include front-row seating and full hospitality. For anyone who wants to make an occasion of the day — a client event, a group of neighbours making a proper afternoon of it — the VIP tier gives a qualitatively different experience from standard grounds access. Details and booking for VIP packages are at mallorcachampionships.com/en/entradas/experiencia-vip.
The Honest Case for Going
The Mallorca Championships is not Wimbledon. The crowds are smaller, the infrastructure is more modest, and the whole thing has a quality that feels human-scale rather than spectacular. That is also part of what makes it worth attending. You are close to the players in a way that is simply not possible at the major tournaments, and the grass court tennis in late June in Mallorca — with the Tramuntana in the background and the light doing what it does in the southwest at that time of year — is a genuinely good afternoon. Residents of Santa Ponsa who have not made the short drive up to the country club in June are missing something that people travel specifically to Mallorca to experience.
