Roland Garros prize money history (2011-2026)

The total French Open prize money from 2011 to 2026 shows a steady growth of the tournament's financial commitment to players, with particularly strong growth in recent years. 

As broadcasting deals, sponsorship revenue and global audiences all increased in the 21st century, so did the total prize money at the event. In 2007, the tournament fully implemented equal prize money, ensuring parity between the women's and men's draws.

The upwards trajectory was briefly stalled during the COVID-19 pandemic with prize money falling in 2020 and 2021 but the tournament rebounded quickly and from 2022 onwards, the tournament has posted record prize pools year after year.

Below is a breakdown of the overall Roland Garros prize money by year, illustrating how the tournament’s total allocation has evolved over time.
