The Australian Open makes history in its pre-week by breaking attendance record

The 2026 Australian Open is celebrating, even though the final draws have not been played yet. During the week leading up to the tournament, the qualifiers and some exhibition matches were held, such as the One Point Slam tournament or matches featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Roger Federer. This has led to a attendance record being broken in the lead-up week.

In fact, it has been surpassed by far, almost doubling the figure. In 2023, the attendance during the lead-up week was 63,120 spectators. In 2024, the number rose to 89,894. In 2025, the 100,000 attendees mark was exceeded, reaching 115,528. However, this year takes the cake, as it has reached 217,999. Historic.
