“Dear PoPville,

We wanted to share an update that single-session tickets for the 2026 Mubadala DC Open are now on sale.

Demand has been exceptionally strong this year, with the tournament already 75% sold out following record package renewals. Limited inventory remains across the stadium, and fans can now purchase single-session tickets starting at just $28, with a variety of premium seating and hospitality options also available.

As the world’s only combined ATP-WTA 500-level tournament, the Mubadala DC Open will once again bring some of the biggest names in tennis to Washington, D.C., including Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Jack Draper, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Victoria Mboko, Venus Williams and Marta Kostyuk, and organizers are anticipating another sellout.”

No major 13‑ or 17‑year cicada broods are set to emerge nationwide, though a small number of insects emerging in off years, known as stragglers, may still be buzzing about.” (more…)
