The Stockholm Open name is back for the 2026 ATP 250, with Bybit EU starting a three-year title partnership. The tournament runs November 7 to 14 at Stockholm’s Royal Tennis Hall. Bybit is also offering fan prizes and limited-time Bybit Card promotions.
- The event has reclaimed the Stockholm Open name after three years as the Nordic Open.
- A one-point challenge on November 14 offers €3, 000 to the first player to score.
- Card promotions include capped cashback on tickets, food and drinks.
- Bybit’s announcement leaves some promotion rules and card costs unclear.
A familiar name, and a new title partner
The tournament’s official name for 2026 is the Bybit Stockholm Open. It is an indoor hard-court ATP 250 held at Stockholm’s Royal Tennis Hall, or Kungliga tennishallen. An ATP 250 is a tour-level category where the singles champion earns 250 ranking points.
Bybit EU’s press release, distributed by PRNewswire and dated November 13, says this is the first edition covered by the company’s three-year title partnership. The tournament went by the Nordic Open name for the previous three years. The announcement pairs the new partnership with the return of the Stockholm Open name, but does not say the sponsorship prompted the change.
The release does not give a complete list of players for the 2026 event. It describes the field as including established players, rising stars and Swedish favourites.
Fan activities and the November 14 prize challenge
Bybit says fans at the venue can try Tennis Smash, an interactive game, and a Spin to Win wheel. Eligible participants may win merchandise, signed memorabilia or premium match tickets. Prizes depend on eligibility and availability.
The Match Point Drop promotion uses QR codes around the venue. Bybit says a participant received €1, 000 on November 9, but the release does not identify the winner. During a designated session on November 14, two eligible participants will be chosen at random for a one-point challenge. The first to score wins €3, 000. Bybit has not provided the session time or all the participation rules.
Bybit also lists guest experiences such as a tennis session with Swedish players Thomas Enqvist and Joachim “Pim Pim” Johansson, official match coin tosses, meet-and-greets and behind-the-scenes tours. Some guests may get the chance to meet Bybit ambassador Casper Ruud. These experiences are for invited guests, not every ticket holder.
Bybit Card offers: the caps matter
Bybit describes its card as a Mastercard debit card that lets users make purchases from their Bybit account balance. The company says it has more than four million cardholders worldwide. The press release offers no independent verification of that figure.
For qualifying tournament tickets, Bybit advertises 15% cashback, capped at €300 per user and available on the first 80 qualifying tickets. At that rate, a user would need to spend €2, 000 on qualifying tickets to reach the cap. Cashback is paid in USDC or BTC, at the user’s choice, to a Bybit EU Funding Account within four business days.
Food and drink purchases at the tournament from November 7 to 14 qualify for 10% cashback, capped at €10 per user, with no minimum spend. Users reach the cap after €100 in qualifying purchases. This cashback is paid in USDC within four business days and is subject to availability. Bybit is also offering a limited-edition virtual Stockholm Open card design in its app.
Outside the tournament promotions, Bybit says the card offers 1% cashback on eligible spending, with no monthly cap. Eligible new cardholders can get 100% cashback on eligible subscriptions in their first month, including Netflix, Spotify and ChatGPT, up to a total of €50. The release does not define all eligible purchases or subscriptions, or list exclusions for the general cashback offer. Bybit’s card also received Mastercard’s top crypto payment award at EDGE 2025.
Bybit says the card has no application or annual fee, though other charges, including exchange fees, may apply. The release does not explain how purchases are processed against an account balance, how conversions work, or what exchange rates and fees may apply. It also leaves unclear how the first-80 ticket limit is managed and which purchases qualify. Check the current card and promotion terms before counting on the advertised rates.
What Bybit says about its authorizations and card issuer
Bybit EU GmbH says it is authorized in Austria under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) to provide custody and administration, exchange crypto-assets for funds and other crypto-assets, place crypto-assets and transfer them on behalf of clients. The company also says it holds an electronic money institution (EMI) licence from Austria’s Financial Market Authority and serves the European Economic Area, excluding Malta.
A MiCAR authorization and an EMI licence are separate forms of authorization. The release does not explain the scope of the EMI licence or how it relates to the card. Bybit EU also says it does not operate a crypto-asset trading platform or provide investment advice. These are the company’s statements. They do not explain how card transactions work or determine what protections apply to a specific payment.
The release says Harmoniie SAS issues the card in partnership with Moorwand Ltd, which holds the Mastercard International licence cited for the arrangement. It says Harmoniie is authorized by France’s Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution. Applicants must complete identity and address checks, and card use is subject to applicable terms and merchant acceptance of Mastercard.
