Four champions, two cities, one night. The National Bank Open finals 2026 land on Thursday, August 13, closing out a tournament that’s already thrown out half its seed list before the semifinals have even been played.
Montreal hosts the ATP Masters 1000 men’s event at IGA Stadium. Toronto hosts the WTA 1000 women’s event at Sobeys Stadium. Both run on a synchronized schedule, and both are still very much up for grabs — the draws are currently sitting in the Round of 16 and quarterfinal stages, which means Thursday’s matchups aren’t locked in yet.
Finals Day Schedule at a Glance
- 5:30 PM EDT — Men’s and Women’s Doubles Finals (Montreal & Toronto)
- 8:00 PM EDT — Men’s and Women’s Singles Finals (Montreal & Toronto)
Same start times, same night, different buildings. It’s the kind of split-city doubleheader that only a combined Masters/WTA 1000 event like this one can pull off.
Men’s Singles: One Top-10 Seed Left Standing
Date & Time: Thursday, August 13, 8:00 PM EDT
Location: IGA Stadium, Montreal, Quebec
The men’s bracket has been a mess in the best possible way. Defending champion Ben Shelton is the last remaining top-10 seed still alive, which tells you everything about how the rest of the field has gone. Arthur Fils and teenager Rafael Jódar have both punched their tickets to the quarterfinals, and either one reaching the final would be the kind of moment that makes a tournament’s highlight reel for years.
Women’s Singles: A Bracket Blown Wide Open
Date & Time: Thursday, August 13, 8:00 PM EDT
Location: Sobeys Stadium, Toronto, Ontario
Nobody circled this on their bracket in June. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is out, beaten by Ekaterina Alexandrova. No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula is out too, done in by Diana Shnaider. That’s the top of the seed list gutted before the quarterfinals even wrapped. Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, and Iga Świątek are the biggest names still standing, and any one of them reaching Sobeys Stadium on Thursday night would count as the closest thing this bracket has to a “chalk” outcome at this point.
Men’s Doubles: A Familiar Name at the Top
Date & Time: Thursday, August 13, 5:30 PM EDT
Location: IGA Stadium, Montreal, Quebec
Top-seeded pair Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten haven’t had much trouble getting to the quarterfinals. Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić headline a field deep enough that the seeding hasn’t meant much so far in singles — doubles has been calmer, but calm doesn’t guarantee anything come Thursday.
Women’s Doubles: Two Pairs Pulling Away
Date & Time: Thursday, August 13, 5:30 PM EDT
Location: Sobeys Stadium, Toronto, Ontario
The women’s doubles field has settled into its quarterfinal shape, and two teams stand out. Elise Mertens and Diana Shnaider have been the form pairing of the week. Hsieh Su-wei and Jeļena Ostapenko bring the experience edge — a combination that’s been dangerous in this exact round before.
