About the Family Circle Cup, Also Known as the Volvo Car Open

Hosted at the Volvo Car Stadium, the Family Circle Cup is now known as the Volvo Car Open. However, you’ll find it is still referred to by both names!

The Volvo Car Open is hosted every April and lasts for a week. Check the match schedule for the exact dates and times when you’re planning your trip. You can attend every day or choose to get individual passes for the day of your choice! 

More Than Just Tennis

While tennis is the main event, there’s more to do than just watch a match! You’ll definitely want to shop around the Merchandise Tent between matches. If you’re hungry, there’s a variety of dining locations onsite. Make sure you save time to visit the sponsored booths throughout the tournament– there are prizes to win!
