Vienna has two venues and two start times on 27 October
· BehindLines newsroom
The Erste Bank Open first round is scheduled to continue in Vienna on Tuesday 27 October 2026, with different starting times at its two venues. The Wiener Stadthalle visitor guide lists a 1:30 p.m. start on centre court, while the Marx Halle guide gives noon for its programme. Those times describe the sessions rather than the exact moment when every player will take the court.
Check which venue you need
Doors at the Stadthalle are due to open at 1 p.m., half an hour before the scheduled start of play. The venue's event listing separately confirms the 1:30 p.m. session on 27 October. At Marx Halle, admission is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Both programmes assign the day to first-round matches, with public practice also listed at Marx Halle.
For spectators planning a visit, these are different pieces of information. A building's opening time is distinct from the start of play, and a session's first match does not establish the starting time of every match that follows it. The current daily order of play is therefore needed to identify the court and sequence for a particular match, whether following from the stands or from elsewhere.
How the week is organised
Tennis Europe's calendar places the men's ATP 500 tournament in the week running from 26 October to 1 November. The centre-court guide schedules first- and second-round play on 28 October, followed by the second round on 29 October. Quarter-finals are listed for Friday 30 October, singles semi-finals for Saturday 31 October, and singles and doubles finals for Sunday 1 November.
The venues also require different journeys. The organiser identifies the U6 underground stop Burggasse-Stadthalle for the Stadthalle and the U3 stop Schlachthausgasse for Marx Halle. Transport disruptions and programme changes should be checked before setting out. All times given here are local to Vienna and remain subject to change. The timetable establishes neither a match result nor the identity of any eventual finalist.
