How to Find Free Tennis Courts in Munich

1. Use Tennis Court Hunter for Email Alerts

Our free service monitors court availability at ten venues in and around Munich: Rothof, Tennis Hirschau, TIVO and Racket-Park TSV Haar, plus Tennis Center München Nord, Sporttraum, Tennispark Zillerhof, Sport Insel Taufkirchen, Tennispark Gernlinden and SV Planegg-Krailling. Just select one or more venues, the court type, one or more days up to 60 days ahead and one or more start times, then enter your email address. We check the clubs' booking plans every 2 minutes and email you as soon as a court matching your choice is free.

Clubs open their bookings a set number of days ahead, from 6 days at SV Planegg-Krailling and 7 at Rothof to more than 60 at Sporttraum. If your date is beyond that window, the alert waits and starts checking the day booking opens, so you can set it up early.

No more refreshing the booking page every few minutes — just set your preferences and wait for the alert. The service is completely free, with no account creation required. You can also monitor multiple facilities at the same time, which improves your chances of finding a free slot quickly.

2. Book During Off-Peak Hours

If your schedule allows, try times outside the popular after-work and weekend hours, such as early mornings, late evenings or weekday daytimes.

If you have any flexibility, try a start time an hour or two earlier or later; Tennis Court Hunter lets you pick several start times in one request. Public holidays are worth planning ahead for, since many people have the day off.

3. Monitor for Cancellations

Booked courts do get cancelled. At Tennis Hirschau and Racket-Park TSV Haar, for example, players can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before, so a fully booked day can still open up.

Tennis Court Hunter is built to catch these openings: it checks every 2 minutes and emails you as soon as a court is free at your chosen time. Setting up an alert for the same day can be worth it too, as it keeps checking until your start time has passed.

4. Book Club Courts Without a Membership

You do not need to join a club to play at the venues Tennis Court Hunter watches: the courts it watches are booked online on Eversports, and Racket-Park TSV Haar, for example, welcomes non-members at any time.

Clubs also offer more than a court: Rothof has seven qualified coaches, Racket-Park TSV Haar offers coaching for all ages and levels, and Tennis Center München Nord and Tennispark Zillerhof have a tennis school and a tennis academy on site. For what each venue offers, see our best courts guide.

5. Check Multiple Locations

At busy times, a single venue may have nothing free. By monitoring two or three facilities simultaneously, you increase your chances of finding an open court on the day you want to play.

Tennis Court Hunter supports multi-facility alerts in a single request: you can select Rothof, Hirschau and TSV Haar at the same time. Each club and start time gets its own alert, and you get an email as soon as any of them has a court free at your time. In winter, when Hirschau is closed, combine indoor clubs such as Rothof, Tennispark Zillerhof, Tennispark Gernlinden and Tennis Center München Nord instead.

6. Use Online Booking Platforms

All ten venues Tennis Court Hunter watches take bookings on Eversports, from Rothof, Hirschau, TIVO and TSV Haar to the clubs in Oberschleißheim, Kirchheim, Gröbenzell, Taufkirchen, Gernlinden and Planegg. Each club's booking plan there shows which courts are free, and booking and payment happen online.

For anything the online plan does not cover, contact the club directly: TIVO, for example, takes longer bookings by email. Also check who a court is for. At SV Planegg-Krailling, the outdoor courts are mostly for members: non-members can play on them only on weekdays until 16:00, for a court fee, and weekends are for members only.

7. Be Flexible with Times and Locations

The more flexible you are with both time and location, the easier it becomes to find a court in Munich. Even a small shift from your preferred start time can turn up other free courts. Being willing to travel beyond the city limits, to Haar or to the clubs in Oberschleißheim, Kirchheim, Gröbenzell, Gernlinden, Taufkirchen and Planegg, gives you more courts to choose from.

8. Understand Indoor vs Outdoor Seasons

Between them, the clubs Tennis Court Hunter watches have outdoor courts, many of them clay (Sandplatz), and indoor courts on surfaces from carpet and granulate to Rebound Ace and even clay. Outdoor seasons differ from club to club: TIVO's court could be booked from 1 April in 2026, while Rothof's outdoor courts and the two Rebound Ace courts at Racket-Park TSV Haar could still be booked in November.

Some indoor courts are available year-round, such as those at Tennispark Zillerhof, while others only run in winter, like the indoor clay courts at Sport Insel Taufkirchen and the air-supported hall at SV Planegg-Krailling. TIVO and Tennis Hirschau are outdoor only and close for the season. If you want to play indoors, book ahead where you can. Tennis Court Hunter monitors both indoor and outdoor courts so you can switch between seasons, and it notices on its own when a closed club reopens: it reads every club's booking plan every 6 hours, and TIVO and Hirschau come back in the form by themselves once their plans show open days.

9. Know the Pricing Landscape

Prices vary by club, time and season. As a guide, these were the hourly prices on Eversports for the week of 6 November 2026: indoor courts €24–30 at Sporttraum, €25–36 at SV Planegg-Krailling, €28–46 at Tennis Center München Nord, €32–40 at Tennispark Zillerhof, €34–42 at Racket-Park TSV Haar and €44–48 at Rothof; outdoor courts €25–28 at Rothof and €24–30 on the Rebound Ace courts at TSV Haar. Summer prices for outdoor courts could not be checked in November.

Check what is included and what cancelling costs. At Racket-Park TSV Haar, the sauna comes with a court booking, rackets and shoes can be hired for €5 each, and cancellations later than 24 hours ahead are charged in full. Rothof has a 24-hour cancellation period too; within it, the club cancels free of charge if it can re-let the court.
