Toronto's National Bank Open is returning with a stacked lineup of activities

The National Bank Open presented by Rogers is back for 2026, and it's bringing a ton of fun activities.

Taking over the Sobey's Stadium from Aug. 1 to 13 (with tickets starting at just $15), it's not only world-class tennis in the heart of Toronto that attendees can expect.

From CELSIUS TennisFest Weekend to 407 ETR Family Weekend, here's what's in store.

Opening Night

It all starts on Opening Night, Sunday, Aug. 2, where Canadians can show their pride by wearing red. It's a tradition at many Canadian games, and now it's coming to the NBO. 

This is the time to rally together, wear red jerseys, and cheer on our fellow Canadians!

407 ETR Family Weekend

The 407 ETR Family Weekend is the tournament's most accessible event for fans of all ages, with free admission on Saturday, Aug. 1, and Sunday, Aug. 2.

Be sure to check out the free on-site activities like caricature artists, face painting, balloon experts, airbrush tattoos, and cotton candy.

The fun continues with an arts and craft station, mascot meet-and-greets, air guitar contests, and dog therapy. On Saturday, you can look forward to yoga sessions and bubble experts as well.

CELSIUS TennisFest Weekend

Taking place on August 8 and 9, CELSIUS TennisFest Weekend is a major celebration of sports and culture, mixed with festival vibes! There'll be exclusive all-day happy hours, DJ sets, free on-site activities, and more.

Be sure to check out Paint & Sip, friendship bracelet-making, tennis trivia, and the pop-up dry-ice bar.

CELSIUS TennisFest Weekend will also mix things up with the Tempo Drill — an interactive basketball challenge where fans can test their skills, compete for prizes (including Toronto Tempo tickets).

To add to the robust programming, Saturday, Aug. 8, also marks Retro Night presented by IRIS. A '90s-themed bash welcomes guests to don their best vintage outfits and enjoy an evening of one of tennis's most iconic decades.

Bring it on down to The Coffee Party on Sunday, Aug. 9, for music, tennis, and good vibes. Fan Appreciation Night presented by Canadian Tire also takes place on Aug. 9. It's where you can celebrate the heart of the tournament (aka the fans) with on-site surprises and unforgettable moments.

More tournament activations

On top of these exclusive programs, tournament attendees can look forward to many more on-site activations, the Rogers First Set Tennis, the Har Tru Knock Em Down Challenge, and the Rogers Ball Crew Challenge.

The fan-favourite 407 ETR Fastest Serve is also returning, plus the all-new Mercedes-Benz Impossible Shot Challenge. It offers special prizes if you can nail a near-impossible shot!

Food and beverage offerings

Of course, the NBO is never complete without some next-level food and drink. For this year, the Stella Racquet Club (aka the perfect spot for photo opportunities) will be back, and guests can enjoy a $5 Kids Menu and Champagne and Oysters.

New for 2026, keep your eyes peeled for The Burger's Priest, Kim Crawford Wines, and the all-new $100 lobster roll, made with PEI lobster poached in Moet & Chandon Champagne and topped with creme fraiche, east-coast caviar, and gold flakes.

It's time to serve

Each National Bank Open comes with a whole host of activities, and 2026 is no different.

Be sure to grab your tickets and attend all the activities you can. Get ready to serve!
