The ATP National Bank Open men's event in Montreal released its full schedule for August 5–14, 2026, detailing round-of-32 matchups such as Medvedev vs. van de Zandschulp and Jodar vs. Musetti.

On August 8, the tournament progressed to the round of 16 at Stade Iga, featuring contests such as Jiri Lehecka versus Rafael Jodar, Nuno Borges against Luciano Darderi, Arthur Rinderknech versus Brandon Nakashima, and Arthur Fils versus Cameron Norrie. Matchups on August 9 included Tallon Griekspoor versus Daniel Merida Aguilar and Joao Fonseca versus Ben Shelton.

Following the first week of competition, the tournament has faced fan backlash regarding its 12-day, dual-city format. Spectators expressed frustration over a drop in match frequency, noting that Montreal’s Day 9 featured only six matches while Toronto’s Day 10 included only three. Critics suggest the current structure, which runs the ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal and the WTA 1000 in Toronto concurrently, prioritizes ticket sales over match density compared to the previous one-week format. 

Despite scheduling complaints, high-profile athletes remain in contention. The men's quarterfinals in Montreal include Arthur Fils, Ben Shelton, and Jakub Mensik, while the Toronto women's draw features Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Elena Rybakina.
