- Carlos Alcaraz
- Lorenzo Musetti
- Álex de Miñaur
- Félix Auger-Aliassime
- Casper Ruud
- Karen Khachanov
- Andrey Rublev
- Learner Tien
This list of seeds is subject to last-minute withdrawals, with players like Draper, Norrie, Vacherot, or Fils possibly entering later. It's important to remember that the final draw of the Conde de Godó 2026 will consist of 32 players, with no byes in the first round for any player, meaning the champion will have triumphed in five matches over a week.

Maximum demand from the start, with only 8 seeds who won't face each other in the first two rounds. Carlos Alcaraz enters as the top seed, with his debut scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, at a time yet to be confirmed. Possible first-round matchups for Alcaraz and other seeds include players like Draper, Fils, or Norrie, assuming no withdrawals among the top players, as well as Nakashima, Etcheverry, Machac, Munar, or the young Jódar, around whom there are high expectations and excitement.
Prize Money Distribution and ATP Ranking Points
The monetary amount distributed by the Conde de Godó 2026 is significant, totaling €2,950,310. It's worth reviewing how the prize money is structured round by round, along with the points awarded for the official rankings where many players are competing for crucial objectives like becoming seeds at Roland Garros 2026 or, in Alcaraz's case, keeping the fight for the number 1 spot with Sinner, in their personal showdown.
| ROUNDS | MONEY | POINTS |
| R1 | €22,770 | 0 |
| R2 | €41,590 | 50 |
| QF | €78,950 | 100 |
| SF | €151,150 | 20 |
| F | €291,450 | 330 |
| W | €546,400 | 500 |
Main Contenders for the Title
It's clear that questioning Carlos Alcaraz's favoritism would be dishonest. The Spaniard aims to add another title in a place he considers his home, after surrendering last year to a Rune who won't defend his title. Tsitsipas will also be absent, having had great performances here in past years, with Musetti as the second seed far from his top form due to his current lack of rhythm.
Auger-Aliassime and De Miñaur will compete for everything, perennial challengers looking to improve their clay-court performances. Much is expected from Draper, Fils, and Vacherot if they can participate, as well as Ruud, who already knows what it's like to be a champion in Barcelona.
