The schedule for when Alcaraz, Sinner, and the rest of the favorites will play in Indian Wells is now known
The organization of Indian Wells 2026 has confirmed the schedule of the men's draw, allowing us to know when the top title contenders will take the court. The bottom half of the draw, led by Jannik Sinner and featuring names like Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Alejandro Davidovich, will play the first round on Wednesday, with the seeds on that side starting their campaign on Friday. The top half, with Carlos Alcaraz as the main figure and other contenders like Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz, will kick off on Thursday, meaning the favorites on that side will debut on Saturday. From there, each half of the draw will have a rest day between rounds until reaching the quarterfinals, which will be played entirely on Thursday, March 12th. The semifinals will take place on Saturday, and the grand final of the men's event will be held on Sunday.
