What is the name of the stadium that hosts the French Open?

The stadium that hosts the French Open is Roland Garros. Its formal name is Stade Roland-Garros, but “Roland Garros” is the standard quiz and tennis-world answer.

The complex is located in Paris, near the Bois de Boulogne, and stages the French Open each year on outdoor clay courts. The tournament is one of tennis’s four Grand Slam events, alongside the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. It is the only Grand Slam played on clay.

The venue is named after Roland Garros, a French aviator and pioneering pilot who fought during the First World War. The French Tennis Federation chose his name for the stadium in 1928, shortly after France hosted the Davis Cup.

A common mix-up is confusing the venue with Court Philippe-Chatrier, the complex’s main stadium court. Philippe-Chatrier is a court within Roland Garros, not the name of the entire tournament site. The French Open itself is also often called Roland Garros, which explains why the answer can refer both to the stadium and, informally, to the event.
