The Nitto ATP Finals uses a round-robin format, with eight singles players or doubles teams split into two groups of four.

Every singles match is the best of three tie-break sets. Doubles matches are also best of three sets, with the first two played as tie-break sets with no advantage and the final set decided by a match tie-break.

The top seed is placed in Group A and the second seed in Group B. The remaining players and teams are then drawn in pairs, with the first drawn going into Group A and the second into Group B.

Each player or team faces the three others in their group.

The winner of each group is placed in separate semi-final brackets, with the top player or team in Group A meeting the runner-up in Group B, and vice versa.
