Bangkok’s FIP Silver Week: The September Dates Players Should Follow

The FIP Silver High Velocity Bangkok is listed for 14–20 September 2026, with the main draw beginning on 18 September and finals on 20 September. The named event page and FIP’s calendar identify that week as Bangkok’s Silver competition window.

For players and spectators planning around the tournament, the distinction between the full event week and the main-draw weekend is useful. Qualifying and the main competition occupy different parts of the programme, so the date relevant to one partnership may differ from the date relevant to another.

The full week and the main draw

FIP’s tournament information lists qualifying from 14 September. The main draw follows from 18 September, bringing the decisive weekend into view before Sunday’s finals. Those dates describe the progression of the tournament rather than a guarantee that every entrant plays on every day.

A qualifying pair has an earlier competitive task: earn a place in the main field. A directly accepted partnership begins from a different position in the structure. The draw and daily schedule determine the actual appointments for each pair.

For a spectator following a particular player, the order of play is therefore the most useful match-day reference. The calendar establishes when the event takes place; the order of play supplies the court and time for the match being followed.

That separation also helps anyone planning a shorter visit. A person interested in the finals needs a different part of the programme from someone hoping to watch qualifying or the opening main-draw round. The event offers several kinds of sporting interest across the week.

The venue behind the Bangkok name

The listed host is Pista Samakom Racquet & Social Club in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. The Bangkok title refers to the wider metropolitan setting, while the venue address places the competition outside the capital’s central districts.

The official address is 8 Soi Chaeng Watthana–Pak Kret 38, Bang Talat, Pak Kret. That is the practical destination to use when arranging a journey around a match, rather than relying only on the city name in the tournament title.

The event lists men’s and women’s competition and an €18,000 total prize fund. Those details establish the scope of the Silver week, while the accepted field and draw provide the names and matchups that will shape the sporting story.

For eligible players based in Thailand, the event supplies another international opportunity within the country. The entry process still determines participation, but the location makes a high-level competition available in the Greater Bangkok area.

Keeping separate listings separate

Another FIP URL containing Bronze in its address had displayed a different September week alongside a Silver Bangkok heading. The specifically named Silver event page and the matching calendar provide the coherent reference for this tournament’s 14–20 September dates.

That distinction concerns the identity of the event. It does not change the dates of a separate tournament merely because a similar city or category name appears elsewhere. Players should follow the information attached to the actual competition they have entered.

Once the programme is underway, daily appointments can become more relevant than a broad date range. A pair progressing through the draw needs to know its next match, and a supporter needs the latest schedule for that round. The tournament’s own current programme is the reference for those decisions.

Bangkok’s Silver week is therefore best understood as a sequence: qualifying from 14 September, the main draw from 18 September and the final day on 20 September at Pista Samakom. Within that framework, the players will create the results and matchups that matter. Clear dates and a precise venue allow followers to concentrate on those contests, from the early routes into the field to the partnerships still competing for a title on Sunday.
