Barcelona Open Prize Money
2023 Breakdown & Historicals
Rich with history, the Barcelona Open is one of a handful of ATP 500 series tournaments throughout the year, taking place on the clay courts of the Reial Club de Tenis Barcelona 1899, Spain’s oldest tennis club.
The tournament started in 1953 and remained one of the country’s most notable tennis events, right behind the Madrid Open, a Masters 1000 that kicks off at the end of April after Barcelona’s conclusion.
Rafael Nadal holds a record 12 titles at the Barcelona Open, resulting in the club renaming its center court to Pista Rafa Nadal.
For 2023, the tournament’s prize money reaches an all-time high of €2,722,480, which translates to $2,973,628 or £2,404,290, equating to a slight 2.3% bump over last year.
In singles, the champion will pocket €477,795, while the runner-up will claim a check for roughly half of that or €254,825, representing a 2.3% growth for each of these sums compared to 2022.
On the doubles side, the winning team will split €167,240, while the runner-up pair will share €89,190, also equating to a 2.3% bump versus the prior year.
In the following sections, I’ll provide a detailed overview and complete breakdown of the Barcelona Open’s prize money and historical data for reference and quick comparison. Currency conversions from euros to US dollars and sterling pounds are available for quick reference.

2023 Full Breakdown
The Barcelona Open hosts a singles and doubles event, with 80% of prize money distributed to the former and 20% to the latter. This split is partly due to the size of the draw, as there are 48 players in singles and only 16 teams in doubles, as is typical at ATP tournaments.
Within each event, we can break prize money down further by round, with a player’s earnings increasing as they progress deeper into the tournament. As a point of reference, the singles champion walks away with 45 times as much prize money as a player exiting in the first round.
The following tables break down prize money per round by year – you can scroll left to right to view historical numbers. I’ve converted prize money to US dollars and sterling pounds, which I calculate using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.
