[TORONTO, ON] June 10, 2025 – On Tuesday, Tennis Canada released the second part of its 2025
National Event Calendar, after unveiling the events held from January to July earlier this year. The new
calendar now covers all tournaments up to the end of the Canadian tennis season in November.
From January to November, 79 tournaments will be held on Canadian soil, from national championships
to the highest level of professional tennis. Notable events that have already taken place include the
coveted Fischer Indoor Junior Nationals, the ITF World Junior Tennis Team Qualifiers, as well as three
professional ITF tournaments – the M15 Sherbrooke, the W15 Trois-Rivières, and the combined M15 and
W15 event in Montreal.
On the professional circuit, still to come this summer are the M25 Laval, the Winnipeg National Bank
Challenger, the Granby National Bank Championships, as well as Canada’s premier tennis event, the
National Bank Open presented by Rogers (NBO), which will now be held over 12 days with a 96-player
main draw. The professional event in Saskatoon, scheduled to take place after the NBO in August,
upgraded from a W35 to W50.
In the fall, two new tournaments have been added to the calendar, resulting in three-week swings for both the men’s and women’s circuits. On the women’s side, the return of the Saguenay National Bank
Challenger and the Tevlin Challenger, as well as the addition of the Quebec City National Bank
Challenger, means that women’s tennis will run from October 13 to November 2. An M15 event has been
added in Trois-Rivières, joining the M25 St-Augustin and the Drummondville National Bank Challenger,
showcasing men’s tennis from October 26 to November 16.
A reminder that all professional events in Canada are part of the new Road to the NBO competition,
where a main-draw wild card to the NBO is awarded to the Canadian man and woman who have
accumulated the most points in the national events preceding Canada’s premier international tennis
tournament.
“We’re extremely excited to be adding professional events in Quebec City and Trois-Rivières,” said
Richard Quirion, Director of Professional and International Events, Quebec, at Tennis Canada. “Quebec
City hasn’t had the chance to witness professional tennis since 2019, and this long-awaited return can’t
come soon enough. As for Trois-Rivières, the city hosted a fantastic event in the spring, and we look
forward to bringing tennis back to Tennis 3R. More tennis in the fall not only makes it more enticing for
players to participate in the three-week Canadian swing, but also gives tennis more visibility across the
country, and we’re very much looking forward to it.”
The season will be full of milestones, as the Granby National Bank Championships turns 30, the Tevlin
Challenger celebrates its 20th anniversary, and the Drummondville National Bank Challenger reaches its
10th edition.
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE STILL TO COME
Away from pro-level tennis, the 2025 season still awaits a slate of national championships, starting with
the Fischer Outdoor Junior Nationals in July and August. The Canadian University Tennis
Championships, the Steve Stevens Masters Tennis Championships, and the inaugural Canadian Beach
Tennis National Championships will also be held in August. In November, the Birmingham National
Wheelchair Tennis Championships will round things off in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Other notable highlights in 2025 include:
- 33 junior events, including the Internationaux de tennis junior Banque Nationale de Repentigny,
Canada’s biggest junior ITF event. - 13 masters events, including the MT1000 Mont-Tremblant Cup.
- Nine wheelchair events, featuring the Birmingham Canadian Wheelchair Tennis Classic, an ITF
3 Series tournament. - Seven beach tennis events, the most organized in Canada in a single year.
