The Australian Open 2027 runs from January 11 through January 31 at Melbourne Park. Opening Week occupies the first six days, while the main draw starts January 17. Traders considering any related prediction market should separate this confirmed tournament calendar from contract availability, pricing, and settlement rules.
Primary sources checked: the official Australian Open date announcement, the tournament's schedule page, the Kalshi markets directory, and the CFTC designation record for KalshiEX. The source snapshot date for this guide is August 2, 2026.
For anyone searching the 2027 Australian Open dates, the official calendar provides five useful milestones:
The checked announcement does not assign the men's and women's singles finals to individual dates. It only states that the singles finals will be held across January 30 and 31, so readers should not infer which final belongs on which day.
The Australian Open describes the calendar as locked in. That does not establish the daily order of play, match times, player field, draw, ticket inventory, broadcast schedule, or weather. Those details require fresh checks closer to the event.
A published event calendar is useful for planning, but it is not a complete tournament schedule. Several items were not confirmed by the official page checked on August 2, 2026:
The official Australian Open schedule destination is the appropriate place to check operational updates. Historical photographs of Melbourne Park can establish venue context, but they do not prove that a pictured player will participate in 2027.
This page serves as a static calendar and verification guide. It can be refreshed at the same URL when the draw, daily schedule, and other official details are published. Updates may also be shared through the @Kalshi_market channel.
The official Kalshi API showed two relevant annual series records on August 2, 2026. KXAOMEN was titled “Australian Open Mens,” and KXAOWOMEN was titled “Australian Open Womens.” Both were categorized as annual sports series with product metadata describing their scope as “Future.”
These are series records, not verified live 2027 contracts. At the dated snapshot, open-event queries for both KXAOMEN and KXAOWOMEN returned zero events. No current odds, volume, liquidity, fees, player contracts, or 2027 event code can be inferred from those records.
The records also referenced the TENNISFUTURE contract-terms family and included series-level settlement-source fields. Those fields do not establish the rules, settlement source, close time, expiration, eligibility, or fees of a future Australian Open event.
The CFTC record lists KalshiEX as a designated contract market. That record does not prove that an Australian Open contract is available or establish event-specific rules, settlement terms, fees, eligibility, or access.
If a dated 2027 event later appears, traders should inspect the live event page and complete contract text directly on Kalshi. The tournament calendar alone is not sufficient.
A prediction-market position is speculative and can lose money. Contract wording controls settlement, and similar-looking questions can have materially different definitions.
The following links preserve the separation between the official tournament calendar, the dated Kalshi API snapshot, and regulatory context:
The official Australian Open announcement says the tournament will run from January 11 through January 31, 2027, at Melbourne Park. Opening Week is scheduled for January 11 through January 16. This calendar was checked on August 2, 2026. Match-level scheduling, player fields, ticket inventory, and broadcast times still require later confirmation.
Main-draw action is scheduled to begin on Sunday, January 17, 2027. The singles finals are scheduled across January 30 and January 31, but the checked announcement does not assign the men's and women's finals to specific dates. The official schedule page should be checked later for the daily order of play and exact match times.
No live 2027 event was verified in the August 2, 2026 API snapshot. Kalshi had annual series records named KXAOMEN and KXAOWOMEN, but open-event queries for both returned zero events. Current availability and prices must come directly from Kalshi. The series records should not be treated as live contracts or evidence of future availability.
Traders should confirm the year, competition, exact outcome definition, settlement source, close time, expiration, fees, eligibility rules, and treatment of withdrawals or cancellations. These details must come from the live Kalshi contract and rule text, not from the Australian Open calendar or an annual API series record. Users should verify current eligibility directly on Kalshi.
Not financial advice. Prediction-market trading is speculative, and you can lose money. Do your own research.
