Next Gen Finals to Leave Jeddah After 2025 as Saudi Federation Ends ATP Deal

The ATP begins a fresh search for a host city under a compressed timeline after Saudi Arabia ended its tournament commitment.

Overview

  • The Saudi Tennis Federation exited the five-year hosting pact that was intended to keep the event in Jeddah through 2027.
  • This year's tournament runs December 17–21 at King Abdullah Sports City and will be the last held in Saudi Arabia.
  • The ATP has opened a bidding process to relocate the event and expects to select a new host within the next year.
  • Launched in 2017 in Milan, the under-20 showcase also trials new rules and technology for potential tour use.
  • Saudi Arabia has since added marquee events including the WTA Finals in Riyadh and an announced Masters 1000 from 2028, reshaping the regional calendar.
