Dates: February 28 – March 14, 2027 | Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Indian Wells, CA

Planning a wheelchair accessible BNP Paribas Open trip? You’re in luck. The BNP Paribas Open brings the best players in the world to the Coachella Valley every March. It’s the largest combined ATP and WTA two-week event in the world, which is why fans call it “Tennis Paradise.” Add sunny 75-degree days and mountain views, and it’s one of the best trips you can plan in early spring.

If you use a wheelchair or travel with someone who has mobility needs, there’s good news: the Indian Wells Tennis Garden is one of the most accessible major sports venues in the country. This guide covers accessible seating, ADA parking, and simple tips for a great visit. It also covers where to stay nearby in a fully ADA-accessible vacation home.

When Is the BNP Paribas Open 2027?

The 2027 tournament runs Sunday, February 28 through Sunday, March 14, 2027.

• Week 1 (Feb 28 – Mar 7): Qualifying and early rounds. Lots of matches on every court, lower ticket prices, and the best chance to see top players up close on the outer courts.
• Week 2 (Mar 8 – Mar 14): The later rounds through the finals. This is when the biggest matches happen in Stadium 1.

Tip: If you want great tennis without finals-week prices, plan for the first weekend. Matches run on almost every court all day.

Is the Wheelchair Accessible BNP Paribas Open Experience Easy to Navigate?

Yes. The venue has ramps and elevators throughout the grounds. Restrooms and concession areas are ADA compliant, and the walkways between courts are wide and flat. For most guests, a wheelchair accessible BNP Paribas Open visit is smooth from the parking lot to your seat.

Wheelchair Accessible BNP Paribas Open Seating

Wheelchair-accessible seating is available in every seating section, with companion seats next to each wheelchair space.

• How to buy: Choose accessible seating when you buy tickets on the official BNP Paribas Open website, or call the ticket office at (800) 999-1585 for help.
• Book early: Accessible spots for the big Stadium 1 sessions sell out first, especially on weekends and during finals week.
• Know your ticket: A Stadium 1 ticket also gets you into general admission seating at Stadiums 3–9. A Grounds Pass covers general admission at Stadiums 3–9 only.

Tip for hot days: The desert sun is strong, even in March. For day sessions, choose seats on the south or west side of the stadium. They fall into shade as the afternoon goes on.

Accessible Parking and Drop-Off

General parking at the Tennis Garden is free, and so is ADA parking for anyone with a valid disabled placard, sticker, or license plate. Planning your parking ahead is the key to a stress-free wheelchair accessible BNP Paribas Open day.

• ADA parking is first-come, first-served. Arrive early, especially on weekends.
• Check your gate before you go. In 2026, ADA parking was reached by heading south on Washington Street, turning right on Miles Avenue, then an immediate right into Gate 4. Gate assignments can change each year, so check the tournament’s “Know Before You Go” page in February.
• Rideshare and taxis have a dedicated drop-off and pick-up area at the venue.

Getting There

Address: Indian Wells Tennis Garden, 78-200 Miles Ave, Indian Wells, CA 92210

Where to Stay for a Wheelchair Accessible BNP Paribas Open Trip

Hotels near the tournament fill up months ahead, and very few offer true roll-in accessibility. A private home solves both problems, especially if you’re traveling with family, friends, or a care companion. For many groups, it is the easiest way to plan a wheelchair accessible BNP Paribas Open trip.

Indio Access is a fully ADA-accessible vacation home inside the gated Indian Palms Golf Resort in Indio, about 15–20 minutes from the Tennis Garden. It’s built for wheelchair users, mobility-impaired travelers, and groups:

• Step-free entry, wide doorways, and a roll-in shower
• 4 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms plus a detached casita with a private bath, sleeps up to 12
• Private heated saltwater pool and spa to unwind after a long day in the sun
• Pet friendly, so service animals and family dogs are welcome
• Safe, gated resort with pickleball courts and golf
• Hands-on hosting from Tuan, who personally takes care of every stay

Staying together in one accessible home means no hunting for adjoining hotel rooms and no surprise bathrooms you can’t use. And after the last match, your own heated pool is waiting.

Many tennis fans stay for a full week of the tournament. Week-long stays are welcome.
