ATLANTA, GA – May 7, 2026 – INTENNSE, the co-ed, team-based professional tennis league, today announced its 2026 season schedule and placed all individual tickets on sale.
All matches, except those in the season's opening week, will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. ET. Friday and Saturday sessions start at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. ET, with Friday/Saturday tickets granting access to both arcs.
The 2026 season will begin Friday, June 5, with opening-night Arcs featuring the Outriders vs. Fortune at 5 p.m. ET, followed by the Altitude vs. Freeze at 7 p.m. ET. The season will culminate with semifinal action on Friday, July 31, followed by the Championship on Saturday, Aug. 1.
“Every part of this schedule was built with competition, entertainment, and athlete performance in mind,” said Barry Fulcher, Commissioner of INTENNSE. “From the rhythm of the Arcs to the balance of home and away matchups, and the placement of marquee contests in premium windows, the 2026 season is designed to showcase the very best of INTENNSE.”
The 2026 season will feature 10 teams divided into two conferences. The East consists of INTENNSE Altitude, INTENNSE Smash, INTENNSE Rise, INTENNSE Sting, and INTENNSE Freeze.
The West will be represented by INTENNSE Outriders, INTENNSE Fortune, INTENNSE Ridge, INTENNSE Inferno, and INTENNSE Rips.
Highlights from the 2026 regular-season schedule include:
● A packed early-season slate from June 10–27, featuring prime-time midweek and weekend Arcs across both conferences
● A mid-season break on July 4–5 before competition resumes July 8–11
● The final week of regular-season play on July 22–25, leading directly into semifinal action on July 31
● The Championship featuring the teams with the best records from each conference, with the East champion facing the West champion on August 1
All competition will be staged at the INTENNSE Arena at Assembly Studios, a 30,000-square-foot soundstage with seating for 500. The fully reimagined, climate-controlled venue is designed to bring fans close to the action, with a high-energy presentation, immersive seating, and a freer, louder in-arena experience than traditional tennis.
