Na Áustria, o ATP 500 de Viena de 2027 começa na segunda-feira, 26 de outubro, quando a chave principal entra em quadra. Antes disso, o qualifying tem início no sábado, dia 24, mesmo dia do sorteio das chaves — o horário será divulgado pela organização. O torneio é disputado em piso duro coberto.
Onze jogadores do top 20 estão na chave. São eles Carlos Alcaraz e Alexander Zverev (número 2 do mundo e futuro líder do ranking), além de Flavio Cobolli, Daniil Medvedev, Frances Tiafoe e Alex De Minaur. A lista se completa com Jakub Mensik e Learner Tien, além de Tommy Paul, de Brandon Nakashima e de Luciano Darderi.
O italiano Jannik Sinner também estava previsto na competição, mas vai se ausentar por lesão. Diante disso, a organização agiu rápido e anunciou seu principal rival, Alcaraz, como a maior estrela do evento.
Ao todo, o torneio distribui € 2,8 milhões em premiação. O campeão leva € 523 mil e 500 pontos. O vice fica com € 281 mil e 330 pontos, enquanto os semifinalistas recebem € 150 mil e 200 pontos. Nas quartas de final, os valores são de € 76 mil e 100 pontos; nas oitavas, de € 41 mil e 50 pontos. Quem parar na primeira rodada ganha € 21 mil e não soma pontos.
A ordem dos jogos de cada dia é divulgada apenas na véspera. Em princípio, os jogos de segunda a sexta começam no início da manhã, por volta das 6h de Brasília. No sábado e no domingo, a programação tem início um pouco mais tarde, a partir das 7h.
No Brasil, a transmissão do ATP 500 de Viena fica com os canais ESPN e com o streaming Disney+.
