Further information: 2026 Miami Open

Aryna Sabalenka is the defending champion. ^[1] She is attempting to complete the Sunshine Double.

Sloane Stephens's (world No. 717) win over Jennifer Brady (world No. 744) in the first round was the first WTA 1000 main-draw match between two players both ranked outside the world's top 500. ^[2]

The semifinal match between Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina marks the first time since the 1998 US Open semifinal between Martina Hingis and Jana Novotná in which the world No. 1 and No. 2 faced off before the final outside of the WTA Finals. ^[3]
