Looking to bet on the French Open in 2026? We take a look at the various tennis odds and markets available, while also sharing a list of the favourites to win the 2026 iteration of this infamous tennis event!

What is the French Open?

The French Open, also known as The Roland-Garros, stands out from the other Grand Slams of the year due to the iconic red clay courts that have been used throughout the event since 1928. Players must adapt their game to the unique challenges of red clay, which slows down balls and creates higher bounces.

Beyond its famous clay courts, the French Open boasts a rich history dating back to 1891 when the first French national championships took place. This major tennis event grew steadily in importance, adding women's singles in 1897 and later expanding with women's doubles in 1925.

French Open Betting Markets

When it comes to betting on the French Open 2026,  there are plenty of different markets for punters to choose from, with some of the most popular options being:

  • Match Winner - As the name suggests, this type of French Open tennis bet involves predicting which player will win a certain match. If the chosen player is victorious at the end of the match, this bet will be awarded at the corresponding French Open odds!
  • Over or Under Sets - With this bet, players can bet on the number of sets that will take place during a game. Typically, games in the early stages will have a lower under, as superstar players like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic will face less-talented opposition, often leading to blowouts.
  • Current Game Winner - One of the most popular tennis in-play betting markets revolves around which player will win the current game. In almost all instances, the server will be the favourite to win the game, which can lead to different French Open betting opportunities.
  • Exact Score - The exact score betting market typically comes with higher odds when compared to the rest of the options in this list. Should players predict the exact score, in terms of sets, this bet will be awarded at the displayed rate.
  • Match Handicaps - Last but not least is match handicaps, a popular French Open betting choice for many punters. This involves subtracting sets from one player, often the strongest of the two, or adding sets to another. If the player wins with the specified handicap in place, the bet will be marked as a successful one.

Of course, there are plenty of other unique tennis betting markets available within the BetVictor sportsbook, too.
