The 2026 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells runs through March 15, with the women's and men's finals closing out the fortnight. Here's everything you need to know to follow the action from the Philippines.
Where to Stream
Blast TV is the most accessible free option — create an account and you'll get coverage of featured matches. They've been prioritizing matches involving Alex Eala throughout the tournament.

Eala's Run — In Case You Missed It
Alex Eala's Indian Wells campaign is over, but it was one to remember:
- R64: def. Yastremska 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 (a three-hour thriller)
- R32: def. Gauff (seed 3) 6-2, 2-0 ret. (her 4th career top-10 win)
- R16: lost to Nosková (seed 14) 2-6, 0-6
She entered ranked 32nd and her live ranking peaked at 28th during the tournament.
The Rest of the Tournament
Even with Eala out, Indian Wells is one of the premier events on the tennis calendar — a WTA 1000/ATP 1000 combined event featuring the best players in the world. The quarterfinals and semifinals this week will set up what should be a spectacular finals weekend.
Set those alarms. It's worth it.
