The ATP Tel Aviv Open is a tennis tournament that is played on indoor hard courts at the Expo Complex in Tel Aviv, Israel.
After the cancelation of a number of ATP tournaments in China in 2022, the ATP tour awarded Tel Aviv a single-year license to stage an ATP 250 tournament in the city.
An ATP tournament was held from 1978 to 1996, so the 2022 tournament was the first time in over 20 years that an ATP 250 tournament was played in Tel Aviv.
In March 2023, the ATP announced, that the Tel Aviv Open would be held for a second time in November 2023, the week before the year end ATP finals.
