When is the 2027 Australian Open men's final? Tennis Australia locked AO 2027 for 11–31 January — the men's singles final is Sunday, January 31, 2027 on Rod Laver Arena.
Current target date: Sunday, January 31, 2027 (Men's final). We update this page when Australian open publishes schedule changes.
AO 2027 runs Melbourne Park 11–31 January. Opening Week is 11–16 Jan; main draw starts Sunday 17 Jan; women's final Saturday 30 Jan; men's final Sunday 31 Jan on Rod Laver Arena — not February 1.

January 31, 2027 — Rod Laver Arena closes AO with the men’s final
Australian Open 2027 is locked for Melbourne Park from January 11–31. Tennis Australia put the singles finals on January 30 (women) and January 31 (men) — so this countdown is Sunday, January 31, 2027 on Rod Laver Arena, not a February spillover.
Main-draw tennis starts Sunday, January 17. If you’re flying for the trophy match only, book the last Sunday of January — Opening Week and Day 1 are different SKUs on the calendar.
Confirmed: men’s final Sun Jan 31 — not Feb 1, not women’s Sat 30, not Opening Week
Confirmed: AO 2027 dates 11–31 January; men’s singles final Sunday, January 31; women’s final Saturday, January 30; main draw from Sunday, January 17; Rod Laver Arena for the title nights. Not confirmed as February 1, as a shared mixed-finals Sunday, or as an Opening Week championship. Fake “moved to March heat deferral” stubs invent a corridor.
Before you set a Melbourne alarm or buy finals hospitality, lock these AO 2027 dates
- Men’s final: Sunday, January 31, 2027 — Rod Laver Arena.
- Women’s final: Saturday, January 30, 2027 — separate night.
- Main draw opens: Sunday, January 17 (fourth straight Sunday Day 1).
- Opening Week: January 11–16 — qualifying and festival, not the trophy.
- Full window: January 11–31 — both singles finals stay inside January.
First Slam of 2027 — and a calendar that finally kills the “early February final” habit
AO remains the season’s first Grand Slam: hard courts, Melbourne heat, and a three-week festival that now front-loads Opening Week before a Sunday main-draw start. For 2027, Tennis Australia explicitly dated the singles finals to 30 and 31 January.
That matters for SEO and travel pages that still auto-roll “last Sunday ≈ Feb 1.” Official copy ends the fortnight on January 31 — update any Feb 1 stub before you publish flights or watch-party invites.
Tennis Australia put both 2027 singles finals inside January — the men’s title is Jan 31, not the Feb 1 date many countdown sites still carry
AO 2027’s locked window is 11–31 January. The women’s final lands Saturday the 30th; the men’s final Sunday the 31st. That is a clean official contradiction of placeholder pages that still say February 1 from “last Sunday of the fortnight” arithmetic without reading the announcement.
Pair that with the fourth straight Sunday main-draw start (January 17) and you get a calendar that is specific enough to handcraft: Opening Week ≠ Day 1 ≠ finals weekend. Honest pages keep January 31 on Rod Laver and leave February alone.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When is the 2027 Australian Open men’s final?
Sunday, January 31, 2027, on Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park. Tennis Australia’s locked AO 2027 window is 11–31 January; the men’s singles title match closes that last Sunday — not February 1.
2When does the main draw start, and when is the women’s final?
Main-draw Day 1 is Sunday, January 17, 2027 — the tournament’s fourth straight Sunday start. The women’s singles final is Saturday, January 30; the men’s final follows Sunday, January 31.
3Is Opening Week the same as the men’s final?
No. Opening Week runs January 11–16 (qualifying, fan stages, ceremonies, practices). The men’s final is two weeks later on January 31. Don’t treat Kids Tennis Day or a showdown session as the title match.
4Why did older pages say February 1?
Late-January / early-February was a loose calendar habit from prior years and placeholder math. Official AO 2027 dates put both singles finals inside January — women on the 30th, men on the 31st. Use Tennis Australia’s announcement, not a Feb 1 stub.
