Roland-Garros 2027 Seating Chart & Best Seats Guide
The best seats at Roland-Garros are Chatrier lower tier between the baselines, but the smartest buys are Chatrier upper-tier center seats, which cost far less for nearly the same view. Here's every court, section by section.
Court Philippe-Chatrier Seating Chart (15,000 seats)
- Lower tier (Cat Gold & Cat 1): Cat Gold is rows 1-9, directly behind the box seats (about 9 rows from the court); Cat 1 is rows 10-21 behind it. Baseline ends face the play directly. Premium price: full best-seats analysis.
- Loges: box seating low in the lower bowl, within the first 8 rows from the court, where hospitality packages sit, with full club hospitality. Box seats guide · hospitality options.
- Upper tier (Cat 2): the value pick, from $499. Chatrier is steep, so even top rows have clear full-court views.
- Shade tip: afternoon sun hits the east side (Tribune Cochet) hardest; west-side seats shade first. Night sessions: no sun, bring a layer. Paris evenings on clay run cool. Full shade analysis by hour.
- Roof: Chatrier has a retractable roof: play continues in rain. Lenglen also has one; outside courts do not.
Court Suzanne-Lenglen Seating Chart (10,000 seats)
Lenglen is smaller and steeper than Chatrier: there are genuinely no bad seats. First-week schedules routinely put top-10 seeds here, and rows 1-5 on the long sides are the single best close-to-the-clay experience on the grounds. Since 2024 it also has a retractable roof.
2027 Lenglen sessions aren't listed yet. Inventory is added as the market opens. Meanwhile, read the full Lenglen court guide or browse all available French Open tickets.
Grounds Map: Simonne-Mathieu + Outside Courts
A grounds pass covers everything except the two main stadiums: all outside courts, the practice courts, the fan village, and a first-come unreserved stand on the 5,000-seat Simonne-Mathieu greenhouse court, the most beautiful court in tennis. First week = 40+ matches a day on outside courts, often with seeds. Find your gate with the entry gates map.

Roland-Garros Seating FAQ
What are the best seats on Court Philippe-Chatrier?
Lower-tier center (mid-court, between the baselines) for pure view quality. Best value: upper-tier center (Cat 2). The bowl is steep enough that elevated center seats beat low corner seats. See the full section-by-section analysis.
Is there a bad seat at Suzanne-Lenglen?
Genuinely no. It's the most intimate 10,000-seat stadium in tennis; even top rows feel close. Rows 1-5 on the long sides are the single best close-to-the-clay experience on the grounds.
Which Roland-Garros courts have a roof?
Philippe-Chatrier and Suzanne-Lenglen. All other courts stop during rain: another reason stadium tickets carry a premium in changeable late-May weather. How the rain policy works.
Does a Chatrier ticket include the grounds?
Yes. Stadium tickets include full grounds access. A grounds pass does not work in reverse: it covers the outer courts but not the two main stadiums. Compare all ticket types.
